Sustainability Commitment
The Pointe at South Mountain is committed to sustainability and ethical practices through our focus on Environmental, Social and Governance initiatives. We believe in improving our environment, whether with partnerships or implementing environmentally friendly measures to our property. Based on a 2015 U.S. Energy Information Administration study, between 32% and 44% of total energy use in apartments went solely to temperature control. Water heating was the next largest category, at 27% to 32% of total energy use. Reducing heating needs alone has a big impact on apartment energy use. At its core, we strive to help reduce our residents’ household and lifestyle impact on the environment. We do this by including sustainable features in your apartment through technological devices, appliances, lighting systems, and fixtures.
Aiming to reduce our carbon footprint, we are implementing the following efforts:
• LED and Energy-Efficient Lighting
• Energy Star Rated Appliances
• Bee-Friendly Community
Partnership
TruAmerica in partnership with Alvéole is proud to partner together with the Bee Service. Bee Service is an Urban Beekeeping & Hotel for Bees. This is a sustainable solution that inspires The Pointe at South Mountain to do more for the environment. Our aim is to make people fall in love with all bees and most importantly take action to protect them. The Pointe at South Mountain’s goals are:
• Bond over the unique bee experience and raise environmental awareness with engaging resident building activities.
• Support pollinator populations that are sustainability within the environment.
• Reconnect our community with nature and sustainability.
How does it work?
• We install a beehive on our property and provide regular beekeeping maintenance and management throughout the season.
• We provide solitary bees with a safe place to nest and help prevent habitat loss.
• We work with a dedicated urban beekeeper.
• Your beekeeper is there to answer all your questions and ensure the health and happiness of your bees.
