Sustainability In The Multifamily Industry Statistics

See how multifamily operators cut carbon faster than expected, with Scope 1 emissions down 25% since 2015 and electrified cooking slashing emissions by 50%, while renewable deals scale to 35% of properties pulling 20% or more from PPAs. Then compare the quieter wins that add up just as sharply, from LED lighting driving 45% to 60% lighting energy savings and ENERGY STAR buildings using 28% less source energy to water and waste measures that turn everyday resident choices into measurable reductions.
