  • Lower maintenance costs. Your building will be more air-tight and better ventilated, so moisture problems will be fewer. You'll have fewer structural problems, like rotting materials and ice dams.

  • Lower energy use - You'll help to protect the environment from power generation-associated air pollution.

  • Preferred property - Property that renters prefer and take pride in.

  • Pride - You'll know that you're helping to protect the environment by saving energy and preventing power generation air pollution.

  • Resale value - For all of the above reasons.
Benefits for your tenants
  • Lower energy bills

  • Greater comfort -Reduced drafts and a greater ability to control indoor temperature at lower energy costs.

  • Healthier indoor air. Units will be built to reduce moisture, so you'll lessen mold and mildew problems. Efficient heating systems will force exhaust outside, keeping indoor air clean.
