Affordable Housing Master Plan An adequate supply of housing is available to meet community needs. All segments of the community have access to housing. Affordable housing efforts create a sustainable community. 16 16 1 16 6

Goal 3: Sustainability Objective 3.3: Ensure environmental sustainability practices are incorporated into affordable housing developments. 1. Encourage energy efficiency in all affordable housing to advance CEP goals. 2. Educate landlords, tenants and homeowners on energy efficiency, water conservation, recycling, and waste reduction activities. 17

Implementation Framework Supports CEP implementation Consider: • Requiring benchmarking of energy and water use • Support benchmarking in existing affordable housing; • Requiring the installation of ENERGY STAR products • Requiring the installation of WaterSense products • Promoting net zero energy affordable housing development. 18

Rethink Energy Challenge • Seasonal list of simple energy-saving actions • Raise energy awareness • Gather emails for an AIRE Listserv • Take the challenge at AIRE events or on our website (share the link!) ARLINGTON INITIATIVE TO RETHINK ENERGY 19
