In 2011, EAH partners with the renowned Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for an important national experiment. At the EAH community Fountain West in Fresno, CA, scientists from the Laboratory monitor the rehabilitation of apartments, tracking changes in air quality and energy consumption. The results of this study are utilized by HUD.
2011 brings about resident and staff training though the support of Enterprise Community Partners and Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC).
In just two years, over half of the EAH Housing portfolio is retrofitted with new green technologies, and the other half receives energy use audits. These improvements are fully or partially funded through the following programs and entities: Weatherization Assistance Program, Marin Municipal Water District, PG&E Rebate Programs, Hawaii Lights and Hawaii Energy, Marin Community Foundation, Low Income Investment Fund (LIIF) and Contra Costa County.
