Certifications reflect company's commitment to
energy conservation
CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 4,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LMC, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Lennar (NYSE:LEN) and a leader in apartment
development and management, today announced that eight LMC
communities were awarded Energy Star certifications from the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for their energy conservation
efforts. To be eligible for Energy Star certification, a community
must earn an EPA score of 75 or higher on a scale of 1-100, which
indicates that the community performed better than 75% of similar
buildings nationwide.
Three LMC communities earned perfect EPA scores of 100: 17th and
Broadway, in Oakland, Calif.; as
well as Valdok 1701 and Valdok 1702, both in Seattle. Other communities to earn Energy Star
certifications include: San Diego
communities Marisol (88) and Shift (79); Onyx (95), in
Edina, Minn.; NordHaus (95), in
Minneapolis; and, Axle
(98), in Seattle.
"At LMC, we are taking large strides in formalizing our green
initiatives and this certification is a validation of those ongoing
efforts," said Todd Farrell,
President, LMC. "We're extremely proud of the thoughtful design and
planning that went into each of the eight communities that attained
certification this year, and to have three communities score
perfect 100 EPA ratings is a great achievement."
Energy Star certified buildings use 35% less energy than
comparable buildings across the country, and also emit 35% less
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, on average. Energy Star
buildings also cost up to 50 cents
less per square foot to operate than similar uncertified
buildings.
Energy Star certifications are issued annually and reflect
energy consumption for the previous year. EPA scores account for
several factors, including differences in operating conditions and
regional weather data. To be eligible for certification, energy
data provided by communities must be verified by a licensed
professional engineer or registered architect.
