Going Green

Get some Simple Tips on how to live a greener life.

At PlumPads, we understand the critical importance of doing our part, and we know that environmental responsibility is a value our community members share. That's why we consistently explore ways to see how our properties can be environmentally smarter.

Here are just a few examples of our green initiatives at PlumPads:


Energy-Efficient Lighting
We're retrofitting lighting and lighting controls in all common and service areas to reduce energy use while looking for ways to help residents save electricity in their own apartment homes too.

Wise Use Of Water
We're replacing existing showerheads, toilets and sink aerators with more efficient models, and using "smart" controls on outdoor irrigation systems.

I conceive that the land belongs to a vast family of which many are dead, few are living, and countless numbers are still unborn.

"Energy Star" Appliances
We specify replacement appliances that have earned the Energy Star rating by meeting strict guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Energy.

A Earth-Friendlier HVAC
When it's time to update, we're replacing heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems with energy-efficient equipment.

Ecologically-Minded Printing
We've implemented an initiative to produce all community and corporate printed materials on recycled stock using soy-based inks.

Greener and Greener
The PlumPads team is continuously looking for ways to expand our environmental smarts. From taking advantage of available local recycling initiatives and participating in urban car-share programs to choosing low-emission paints and earth-friendly cleaning supplies, we are committed to ongoing improvements that make our properties ever more environmentally friendly.
