🌳 At Kent Homes, we’re committed to minimising our impact on the natural environment, and to finding better ways to build. At the core of our philosophy lies the belief that sustainability is synonymous with good design. 🔨 As home builders, we understand the pivotal role we play in shaping a greener future. By prioritising sustainable practices, we aim to reduce carbon emissions and preserve the beauty of our planet for generations to come. 🌍 But the benefits extend far beyond environmental stewardship. Our homeowners reap the rewards in numerous ways. Not only do they enjoy the satisfaction of living in a home that aligns with their values, but they also experience tangible benefits such as cheaper energy bills and improved health. 💪 Furthermore, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on local ecosystems. We recognise the importance of preserving biodiversity and nurturing natural habitats. That's why we go the extra mile to contribute positively to the flora and fauna of every area in which we work. By doing so, we aim to safeguard local wildlife and create harmonious environments where both humans and nature can thrive together. 🌿🦋 #ClochanKilmeaden #WaterfordForSale #Waterford #Kilmeaden #NewHome #SellingHomes #Local #PropertyGoals #LocationGoals #Homes #KentHome #HomeSweetHome #LoveWaterford #Construction #Sustainability #IrishConstruction #BuildingCommunities #KentHomes #SustainableConstruction #Sustainability

This is what can be accomplished through strategic property improvement! We are thrilled to share that 71 Moreland Street Footscray has achieved outstanding NABERS results: 5.5 stars for Energy and an impressive 6 stars for Water. This achievement is particularly impressive considering the building was built in 1992. Since 2017, Moonah Tree Capital, in partnership with Colliers' property management team, and longstanding state government tenant and their property managers have been on a journey to improve the energy and water efficiency through targeted building upgrades, inclusive of solar system installation, lift upgrades, bathroom & amenities upgrades, and modernisation upgrades, a comprehensive BMS overhaul, lighting and boiler upgrades and more. It shows the commitment that both Moonah Tree Capital and Colliers have to improving the sustainability of government buildings within Victoria as we all strive to reach our critical goal on net zero emissions. We're proud to be part of the solution, and we can't wait to see what we can achieve next!

And here's what makes my job so rewarding... At the end of June, we completed a water retrofit project at our Wood Hollow Apartments in Dallas, managed by Greystar. Led on behalf of Stoneweg US, LLC by Andrew Bilodeau, this initiative was our first project with ecofi, and the early results are in. 🔮💧💚 We conserved 700,000 gallons of water in our first full month—that’s like turning off two garden hoses that have been running non-stop, day and night. ⛲🥳🦆 We take a thoughtful approach to selecting fixtures, prioritizing resident experience as well as specifying they must be USEPA #WaterSense certified. I personally tested showerheads at home and the Niagara Conservation ones we installed I still continue to use everyday, because it's not only economical, but it’s a quality product and experience. Knowing firsthand how effective and comfortable these fixtures are, it’s no surprise that our residents are pleased with the upgrade. 🚿🛀🤗 Wood Hollow has already seen a $2,500 reduction in our water bills versus the average in the first month. I'll let you annualize and cap it, but not bad for a Monday! But keeping it honest, it’s a strong start, but we’ll better understand the trend after three months. 🌊💸📊 Stoneweg US part of the Better Buildings #WaterSavingsNetwork, and we use tools like Conservice 's Efficiency Projects feature, shown in the screenshot I’m sharing, to help us track our progress. This tool is crucial for ensuring our investments deliver as promised, keeping us accountable and continuously improving. 🚀🤓📐 This is just one example of how our commitment to sustainability and ESG translates into results! — lower costs, happier residents, and a reduced environmental footprint. 💰👪🌎 I'm excited to share more results from projects in the works as we continue to drive better performance and resident satisfaction! 🤩🏹🎯 #Sustainability #ESG #WaterConservation #RealResults #StonewegUS #HappyResidents #BetterBuildingsChallenge

Increased home buyer demand for green homes is a key factor that could drive engagement with green building in the future. However, home appraisals and MLS listings often fail to reflect the added value of green features, posing a significant challenge for the green building industry. By enhancing transparency in marketing green projects, leveraging third-party certifications, and improving MLS listings, the industry can better educate consumers about the benefits of green homes. As we navigate towards a more sustainable future, collaboration and innovation will be key in driving the adoption of green building practices and reshaping the housing market landscape. #GreenBuilding #Sustainability #HousingMarket

The reality is dawning on #reits that without #sustainability their portfolios will become unattractive and OPEX will balloon relative to green competitors in the long term. Here is an example of a #reit leading the market by adopting #renewablestructures that are made possible with #masstimber. Thanks Craig Rawlings.
