About

Landlords don't have the same incentives to be green as tenants and homeowners do.  So we need to work with tenants, landlords and the overall community to come up with innovative ways to green San Francisco's Rental Housing.

Here's what we're working for:

  • Energy Star rated appliences in all rental units by 20xx (TBD based on research)
  • Green Roofs on all (flat roofed) rental properties by 20xx (TBD based on research)
  • Solar Panels wherever possible.
  • Overall efficiency of heating / cooling systems in rental units. This may include replacing old windows, making sure that radiator heat is adjustable etc.
We think that this is a necessary step in fighting global warming.  We also believe that it will make our community closer and healthier.
