Launched in 2011 with the goal of improving energy efficiency in buildings by 20 percent, the White House Better Buildings Challenge (BBC) extends to multifamily apartment homes in 2012 and EAH immediately jumps at the opportunity to join more than 120 other early-adopting organizations.
In 2012, EAH is awarded a grant to refine its Operations and Maintenance Guidelines to include advanced training for maintenance staff. At that time, EAH also implements a policy to use green cleaning products across the portfolio. In addition, EAH receives funding to complete its internal Product Specifications Guidelines for new development and rehabilitations.
