NEW YORK CITY-As building costs increase and infrastructure continues to age, one local nonprofit is working to reduce operating costs and provide energy- and cost-efficient homes for low-income residents. The New York office of Columbia, MD-based Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. has launched a new program called the Partner Portfolio Retrofit Engagement Platform – or PartnerPREP – a new green business service that will help owners of multifamily affordable housing developments to retrofit their buildings.

The program provides owners with energy planning and building management advice, energy efficiency and building performance technical support and assistance in identifying financial opportunities and resources to support energy efficiency upgrades and improvements during the course of two years, according to Bomee Jung, senior program director of Enterprise’s Green Program. She tells GlobeSt.com that the organization would like to like to address 5,000 units worth of portfolio through energy conservation intervention and then touch 15,000 units through the operating and maintenance improvements across the board.
