When a property can present creative ways to make residents’ lives easier, it can be a valuable form of relationship-building. Millennials and the upcoming Gen Zs are increasingly energy conscious, so we found some really neat apps that promote sustainability.
Apps to Evaluate Energy Use
Wiser Energy Management System can be easily integrated into a current thermostat to intake the apartments energy data and output useful graphs to help the users evaluate their energy use that they can review on their tablet or mobile device. Not only will residents save 30% on utility bills, Wiser will reduce power outages and the user’s carbon footprint.
Predicting the Electric Bill
Another neat app we found was Green Outlet. This handy app allows the user to predict what their electric bill will be for the month by selecting the types of appliances they use in their home and entering how many hours of use per day. Now residents can plan ahead and have peace of mind when they receive their energy bill at the end of the month.
Determine and Compare Energy Costs
Know someone looking for a new place to call home? Be sure to tell them to check out Code Green. This app allows the user to look up Energy Star scores to help them determine their average energy costs. Looking to compare rates from one complex to the next? Code Green provides the ability to compare energy stats among different locations. The app helps consumers make a more informed decision for the next place they call home.
Differentiate Your Property With Sustainable Apps
So, how can these apps benefit multifamily properties? Raising residents’ awareness of these kinds of sustainable apps conveys your property’s dedication to going green. In short: it’s a form of relationship-building. Start your New Year’s resolution off right with a few more bucks in your wallet and give back to the planet by using these green apps.
