 | It’s Not Easy Being Green
Sustainability is at the heart of CCHT’s work. Everything we build or renovate is designed to high standards and intended to last a long time. Recently, CCHT strengthened its commitment to sustainable, healthy design and construction by entering into a new partnership.
As part if its Green Build Initiative, CCHT is joining with the Green Institute and the Center for Sustainable Building Research of the University of Minnesota’s College of Design. Through this partnership CCHT plans to develop a sustainable model for different types of developments involving multi-family housing: new construction, substantial rehabilitation and moderate rehabilitation. Information gathered from these development projects will help develop models for future developments that can be replicated.
The ultimate result will be healthier, more energy efficient buildings that have low environmental impact. Its complicated work, but when all the pieces come together, the benefits will pay dividends for CCHT residents and the communities they live in.
Watch for future updates on CCHT’s Green Initiative.
