Green Building Makes Affordable Housing more Sustainable EQUITY

ECONOMY

ENVIRONMENT

Affordable housing provides:

• Safe and decent homes • Social services & programs • Mixed income communities

• Stable housing costs • Housing locations near jobs, education, services

• Transit-and serviceproximate locations that reduce energy use and air pollution

Green building expands the benefits by:

• Providing healthier indoor environments • Encouraging physical activity—biking & walking • Protecting health of construction and manufacturing workers

• Reducing utility costs for residents • Reducing operating costs for owners • Providing durable and resilient assets that offer community economic and social stability

• Promoting efficient land use—infill and redevelopment • Reducing the need for natural resources • Saving energy and water, mitigating climate change • Promoting social cohesion to support climate resilience

Project managers are at the center of the green development process
