Georgia's home energy rebates program powers efficient apartment development

Energy costs have gone up for many Georgians. Efficiency measures, like installing better insulation, can save people on their energy bills. But the upfront costs can be steep, meaning landlords often don’t want to spend in order to save their tenants money.

A rebate program through the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority helped cover the costs of the HVAC, energy-efficient stoves, and insulation in a multi-family and senior living project.
