#1 UPGRADE TO LED LIGHTING
Upgrading to light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs, both on the interior and exterior of
community buildings, has serious sustainable benefits. Today's LED bulbs are more
energy-efficient and use around 80% less power than traditional fluorescent and
incandescent lights. These bulbs also last up to six times longer than conventional bulbs,
freeing up time and money for your maintenance team. For even greater savings long-
term, think about switching to solar-powered LED lights.
#2 PRACTICE SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION
Green building practices are no longer seen as an alternative. If your community
is remodeling or constructing new buildings, consider implementing practical and
measurable green building design, construction, operations, and maintenance solutions.
For example, opt for energy-efficient appliances, solar-powered light fixtures, and
mechanical ventilation equipment.
