Strategy: Energy Star Appliances
Energy Star
is a government-backed program helping businesses and individuals protect the environment through the use of high-efficiency products. ENERGY STAR
qualifying products, such as windows and doors, use smaller amounts of energy, save money, and help protect the environment. These case studies and resources relate to this strategy.
Strategies:
Families significantly below the poverty level have been shown to spend as much as 19% of their income on utility bills, while in some areas of the United States as many as 25% of evictions of low-income renters were due to inability to pay utility bills, which is why incorporating sustainable design elements into affordable housing is so critical.
