Smart City’s Secret To Saving Money This Summer In Dallas!
LEED-certified properties are a sweet deal when it comes to freezing cold winters and blistering summers (such as, oh I don’t know, every May through August in Texas). They’re also fantastic for saving the world and stuff, too. To sum it up, if a building is built after 2008, they are LEED-certified and you’re going to save money on your electric bills! LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is a certification program that recognizes building practices and strategies that satisfy and earn points for certain prerequisites, and Dallas is full of ’em in the apartment realm.
We’ve picked out a handful of properties in different pockets of the city, most of them fairly new and beautifully upgraded with luxury amenities. A key aspect of being LEED-certified, though, is that even though you might be paying a little more for rent at a new and upscale building in a cool area, you’ll still be cutting costs by having lower water, electricity and other bills.
You will not only have green living initiatives, and therefore more affordable utility bills, but you’ll also live in a property that cares about our environment! We all know that here in Dallas, we don’t really deal well with cold, so don’t sweat cranking up the heater during these chillier months.
