Skyrocketing electricity costs impact both residents and owners alike, and California’s clean energy targets are forcing apartment owners to think about solutions for their properties. Zen Ecosystems can help. We help building owners, management, and their residents save money and make the transition to clean energy simple and easy. With Zen’s Energy Star-certified Thermostats and the HQ platform, property management can remotely monitor, manage, and restrict access to temperatures in any common area — business centers, lobbies, offices, gyms, laundry, models, and short-term units — without visiting the room and disrupting anyone. Additionally, building owners can increase Net Operating Income by enrolling in Demand Response programs and can help residents reap financial benefits by enrolling their own apartment homes as well. Zen helps building owners optimize energy use based on their goals. Want to save money? Use Zen to set schedules based on room occupancy. Want to use more green energy? Shift load times to when there is more green energy on the grid. Want to generate revenue? Set up a Demand Response program for your common spaces and residents. By eliminating unnecessary energy consumption, setting lock-outs and limits in shared spaces, and creating practical schedules, Zen customers have reduced energy consumption by 30%. Air quality has a significant impact on comfort and health. Zen’s platform can monitor indoor air quality (formaldehyde, humidity, VOC, and CO2) and can automatically “refresh” a room when levels vary from EPA standards — or simply in between showings. Zen automatically manages & analyzes energy efficiency, lowering electric usage and extending the life of your HVAC equipment. But just as important, we offer ways to reach your sustainability goals, increasing renewable energy usage when the grid is greenest. Get in touch with the Zen team at www.zenecosystems. com and let us show you how to start saving immediately.
In the multifamily industry, top design trends are evolving from the typical luxury vinyl plank, basic white quartz and shaker cabinets. Flat-panel European style cabinets with distinct colors of wood grains or white lacquer flat panel cabinets give a unique feel that lends itself to an open and warm environment. Adding a Calacatta quartz countertop provides the unit a condominium personalized feel. Contrast it with either a gold or stainless-steel sink, then enhance the look with black plumbing fixtures and hardware, creating a memorable and friendly kitchen and bathroom. All of this is great, but how does one keep material costs down, maintain installation timelines, and ultimately achieve the underwriter’s NOI and IRR goals?
