Spotlight
MidPen Housing recognized the importance of developing communities that address the long term needs of environmental sustainability. That’s why they partnered with the City of Sunnyvale and other partners to commit to green building practices.
“There were no significant differences in the construction cost in building an all-electric property versus a traditional property. Plus, there are grants available from the California Energy Commission for select all-electric construction projects.”
