Unlocking Savings and Sustainability with ENERGY STAR® NextGen®
From urban high-rises to suburban complexes, the push for greener living is transforming how we approach energy use. At Cushman & Wakefield, we’re leading this change by integrating cutting-edge programs like ENERGY STAR® NextGen® into our multifamily properties.
Launched by the EPA, ENERGY STAR® NextGen® extends the reach of the renowned ENERGY STAR® program to homes and apartments, whether new or existing, rented or owned. This initiative is designed to recognize residences that use efficient technologies and appliances to cut down energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions. Funded by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, NextGen® aims to set a new standard for eco-friendly living by lowering household emissions by up to 80%
What sets NextGen® apart? It’s more than just an environmental win. Participating homes can achieve up to 20% greater energy efficiency compared to non-certified properties. Residents benefit from lower energy bills, increased comfort and a potential boost in property value—by as much as 8%. Moreover, NextGen® helps to create healthier living environments by minimizing exposure to harmful combustion byproducts like carbon monoxide.
Cushman & Wakefield manages over 800 multifamily properties nationwide, and we’re proud to offer unparalleled expertise in energy and sustainability solutions. Through our Sustainability Services team, we provide tailored strategies to enhance energy efficiency and resident experience.
