Green renovated building in Takoma Park celebrated
Montgomery Housing Partnership, a private nonprofit housing developer, held an open house and ribbon cutting ceremony last week to mark the completion of the $3.2 million green renovation of Edinburgh House in Takoma Park. The 10-story brick building was awarded the first Be SMART multi-family loan for energy efficient upgrades. Those upgrades are expected to yield an ongoing energy savings of 15 percent to 20 percent. Be SMART, administered by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development, provides increased comfort, safety and affordability to buildings in Maryland through energy efficiency improvements. Financing is available for the purchase and installation of equipment and materials for energy efficiency items including ENERGY STAR-qualified HVAC systems, insulation, windows, draft stopping and duct sealing, appliances and fixtures, and water heating equipment. Increased energy efficiency translates to significantly lower energy bills for consumers, more comfortable buildings and reduced consumption of fossil fuels.
