3-Step Climate Action Planning - Sustainability Simplified

Climate Action Plan - Assess, Plan, Implement

A climate action plan (CAP) serves as a playbook for a company to reach its sustainability goals. Climate action plans help manage, track, and report on sustainability actions, leading to goal achievement.

Step 1

Assess

Understand your operations. Determine impactful actions at the property level and the portfolio level.

Step 2

Plan

Strategize for the future. Leverage data-driven modeling and customized pathways for properties and portfolios.

Step 3

Implement

Transition to action. Implement your plan to reduce environmental impact and avoid fines.

Navigate Regulation

BPS policies are enforcing their policies through fines for both reporting property performance and property performance compliance itself. Failure to comply may incur immediate penalties as well as the accumulation of fines over time for a property and across a portfolio, resulting in severe financial consequences. Staying proactive and compliant with regulations is crucial to avoid financial repercussions.

Model Data-Driven Pathways

Make data-driven decisions by modeling financial and environmental impacts to reach your goals. Understanding the environmental and financial impacts of sustainability measures is an integral part of decision making. Consider how payback periods and energy or emissions reduction are impacted with each possible action to make data driven decisions.

Property Emissions Modeling

Identify Incentives

Capital costs can be expensive, but there is an unprecedented amount of financial incentives available to property owners to alleviate these costs and increase the affordability and rate of implementation. Taking advantage of these incentives, while they are still available, helps property owners stay ahead of impending regulations and associated fines for poor energy efficiency and high carbon emissions.

Requiem for sustainability?
Requiem for sustainability?

As a practitioner of sustainability in multifamily, sometimes I hear things that crack me up. My all-time favorite was an article about a town in North Carolina which moved to ban solar because it would suck up all the energy from the sun, take it away from plants and drive business out of their town.

It is that time of year again! I know that some individuals are focusing on politics this week. This is understandable, but it is important for us to also focus on a critical aspect of managing our properties: seasonal preparations.

I grew up in unincorporated Fresno, California (that is the part of Fresno, that Fresno does not want.) There were not a lot of extracurricular activities that were of interest to me, so I participated in 4-H and learned how to sew. I hated it.

A message from our CEO

Over the past year, we have had the fortunate opportunity to speak with hundreds of industry stakeholders and experts in Multifamily, and have heard every reason why sustainability action can be challenging and difficult. We have also seen that there is Hope and Opportunity.

In an effort to provide a transformative solution, GreenT was founded to disrupt the complexities of sustainability that have hand-cuffed our industry for years. Our industry has always had the right intentions, we simply lacked the resources to effectively navigate this journey. At GreenT, we view innovative technology and software solutions as the answer to the challenges our industry faces in our pursuits for efficiency and sustainability.

Rather than trying to adapt existing solutions tailored to other types of real estate, we set out to create climate software built from the ground up for Multifamily, and the unique characteristics of our industry.

Resource efficiency and sustainability are the future of real estate. At GreenT, we are driven each and every day to deliver THE RIGHT solutions to support the green transformation in Multifamily to more profitable and sustainable communities.

We look forward to being part of the solution, and partnering with amazing people and companies along the way to support their journey. Let’s fight the good fight, do the right thing, and transform our industry together!
