Good Energy Management Is Good Business for Multifamily Properties
A comprehensive, strategic approach to energy management can improve the energy efficiency of U.S. multifamily properties by 15-30% and save $3.4 billion in utility costs, according to ACEEE. Multifamily properties also have enormous potential to save water and reduce waste. Whether you pay these utility costs directly or not, reducing energy, water, and waste across your multifamily properties can lower your operating costs, increase your properties’ asset value, and make your properties more marketable through lower costs of living and increased comfort for residents.
