LEED for Homes represents a consensus standard for green homebuilding developed and refined by a diverse cadre of national experts and experienced green builders.

The EPA through its Energy Star program provides partners with guidelines for superior energy management. These guidelines lower operating costs and improve resident satisfaction.

LEED-certified buildings are designed to:

• Be healthier and safer for occupants
• Conserve energy and water
• Reduce waste sent to landfills
• Lower operating costs
• Reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions

LEED features of Wabash Estates include:

• High-efficiency irrigation systems and limited conventional turf to reduce water consumption.
• Outstanding community resources in transportation availability (over 250 rides).
• High efficiency fixtures: low flow toilets, lavatory faucets and showerheads in the units. This reduces water consumption leading reduced bills for the tenants.
• The building has a HERS rating of 80 (against 100 which would be a standard building), which means the home has better energy performance than a standard one.
• This project was panelized construction which means limited to no framing waste on site.
• The insulation, paint, carpet and hard flooring that were installed in the building have low emissions (low to zero VOC content) adding to a healthier environment.
