Pro Management recognizes that GREEN IS GOOD for apartment communities by giving your property a more sustainable future. In an effort to be as green as possible, our company endeavors to use green products and employ green management strategies. We strive to abide by practices that Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!

A green product is one that improves the indoor air quality of a home, lowers pressure on the environment to produce the product, reduces the use of water throughout a home, reduces the "carbon footprint" of a home by reducing the amount of enregy used, and reduces the chemical danger and exposure risks to people working and living in the home.  For example, certain products such as paint, cleaning chemicals and carpets emit gasses known as Volatile Organic Compounds or "V.O.C. " that is unhealthy for individuals and the environment.

Some of the specific Green Management Practices that we implement wherever possible in our apartment communities are as follows:

• Re-painting of apartments using low V.O.C. paint
• Re-flooring of apartments using low V.O.C carpeting
• Cleaning of apartments using low V.O.C. chemicals
• Installing water saving toilets, faucets and showerheads
• Replacing appliances with Energy Star rated units
• Upgrading lighting elements from incandescent to florescent
• Establishing non-sort recycling trash dumpsters on each property
• Educating residents on a regular basis on how to live more green

 MARKETING "GREEN" FOR A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

Marketing research indicates that many renters acknowledge a green apartment community as a better value. Properties which promote features such as lower utility costs, better indoor air quaility and environmental awareness are seeing better occupancy and profitibility.  Some renters will actively seek out and often pay more rent for green apartment homes. Offering this kind of value and benefit to renters sets Pro Management properties apart from other apartment communities.
