Greening Workforce Communities

Numerous studies conducted in which adding energy-efficient design concepts show greening workforce communities is not an unrealistic goal. Neighborhoods can be built green if a balance of social, economic and environmental needs is present.

Committed to make a difference, Rosemann establishes a minimum standard of green design in each project. By using local materials, responsible construction and waste management practices and adding water efficient systems, most developments can become socially and economically responsible.

These tactics work great for the initial development, but what happens when construction is complete? With quality green design, Rosemann encourages community residents to be green in how they live. Residents are provided with tools and strategies to continue green community practices.

Needing more for less, workforce housing developers should not overlook the idea of establishing a green community. A qualified designer can help identify green options and provide the developer with the best fit for their project’s sustainability.
