Green is the buzzword in the real estate industry today and the National Apartment Association (NAA) is at the forefront of this issue.
The ever growing market of sustainable, environmentally friendly and recycled building products, along with the greater availability of educational opportunities for developers, owners, operators and residents has quickly accelerated green building’s acceptance in the market place. As such it is NAA's role to prepare our members for this market shift to sustainable building and operations through programs that address green education, recognition and market awareness.
NAA is helping our members move the practice of green building and operations into the multifamily mainstream. Energy efficiency, water and resource conservation, sustainable or recycled products, and indoor air quality are increasingly being incorporated into the everyday process of the multifamily housing industry. The National Green Initiative offers several resources and tools to help developers, remodelers, property managers, local NAA affiliates, and renters learn how to go green, and the benefits of doing so.
