  1. A Green Property Manager

  2. GOING GREEN AND LOOKING FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY OPPORTUNITIES IN HOUSING BIG PICTURE GOAL • Better Management and Reduction of all energy consumption, water-sewer, gas and electric at each building including energy usage paid by owner and each resident. • Reduce costs and minimize the environmental impact • Incorporate Recycle programs to reduce waste wherever feasible • Use building products that will last for the long term and provide the best energy savings all within the budget constraints • Find and use renewable resources whenever feasible, Solar, PV, Wind, etc. • Leverage any programs/rebates that provide financial incentives for reducing energy consumption or going Green. • Prioritize based on Payback time/ Return on investment and when making a change in a building product

  3. WATER – SEWER CONSERVATION OPPORTUNITIES UNIT Interior A) Bathroom • Shower head at max 1.5GPM • Faucet aerator .5GPM to max 1 GPM • Toilet replace with .8 GPF, 1.2GPF or double flush • Toilet flapper use 5 Year highest quality flapper at $3 vs. cheap flappers at $1 last less than one year. Also, for older toilets that 3GPF or larger there is a 1.6GPF flapper option and other conversions that will reduce usage without changing the toilet • Faucets that will last 15 + years

  4. WATER – SEWER CONSERVATION OPPORTUNITIES UNIT Interior B) Kitchen • Faucet aerator max 1.5GPM • Energy Star Dishwasher • Faucets that will last 15 + years C) Washer • Use Energy Star washer if providing in unit • Have common washers changed to Energy Star/front load are best and are ADA Check with local utility company and water management authority for rebate or financial incentives.

  5. WATER – SEWER EXTERIORWATER SAVING OPPORTUNITIES IRRIGATION Water Source • Determine what the water source is for irrigation • Potable water is most expensive, verify the irrigation is on a separate water irrigation meter if no better option. This will avoid sewer costs • Other sources are to pull from are lake, well, rain storage or reclaimed water Irrigation • Rain sensor so there is no irrigation when there is sufficient rain • Minimize or reduce time and frequency of operation for each zone • Use most efficient type of irrigation heads to minimize the water usage • Properly adjust spray area to avoid watering streets and buildings

  6. WATER – SEWER EXTERIORWATER SAVING OPPORTUNITIES IRRIGATION Landscape • Reduce or eliminate high maintenance turf and landscaping • Use native landscaping whenever possible, lowest water use • Use native grasses and ground cover • Shade trees also are a plus and can reduce heat on buildings Exterior water faucets • Cap and lock, eliminate or otherwise control usage and leaks Pool • Most pools have leaks • Auto fill does not allow you to identify there is a leak • Need routine check of water loss without auto-fill on

  7. Electric & Gas Energy Saving Green Opportunities UNIT • Change lighting from incandescent to LED or florescent T-8 or better, both exterior and interior (see attached calculator of cost/payback) • Increase attic insulation to minimum R-30 with minimal extra cost to R-40+ • Accessible AC duct sealing and identify and repair any holes or broken lines • Replace appliances with E-Star • Window tint or solar screens • Install ceiling fans in bedrooms and living room • AC Upgrade to minimum 15 SEER, review Heat Pump or other options • Window upgrade to insulated, double pane low E • Door seal/weather-strip or replace

  8. Electric & Gas Energy Saving Green Opportunities Roof • Insulate • Insure proper attic ventilation • Cool, reflective light colors • Overhang for shade • Trees for shade preferably that loose leaves in winter Flooring • Ceramic tile or other hard surface • Minimize carpeting, prefer closed loop Berber Walls • Add insulation • New skin with insulation

  9. Electric & Gas Energy Saving Green Opportunities Common – Other • Photo cells • Timers • Motion sensors • Office equipment off during non working hours

  10. GREEN & ENERGY SAVING IMPLEMENTATION • At rehab, major or minor • At major component replacement, a/c, roof, appliances, etc. • At normal repair and replacement, set a standard for all replacement items • Specific component upgrade, i.e. water savers cost less than $20/unit with payback in 30 days to 6 months +/- • When rebates or other incentive programs provide financial incentives

  11. Interior Light Change Upgrade Cost/Savings Analysis
