Grady's Green Initiatives

Did you know that Grady Management celebrates our 50th anniversary this month?

As a company, there are many ways we promote green initiatives in the apartment communities we manage.  In fact, Grady Management has been a leader in energy conservation technology since 1971.

Some ways we promote green living include:

  • Our Utilities and Energy Conservation Administrator, David Farmer, constantly monitors community consumption of electricity, natural gas, heating oil, and water to ensure we conserve these resources and that we manage our carbon footprint.

  • Our Director of Maintenance, Mark Rasavage trains team members in energy conservation programs and best green practices, tests and selects energy efficient and eco-friendly products.

  • We are moving toward energy efficient LED (light emitting diodes) light fixtures, CFL (compact fluorescent light) bulbs, common area lighting controls, and more efficient HVAC upgrades to help lower utility costs.

  • Water conservation devices such as high performance faucets, showerheads, and toilets have been installed in most of the apartment communities we manage.

  • Some communities utilize water sub-metering and resident utility billing to lower usage and waste.
More green initiatives are detailed on our website, under the heading "Green Initiatives."

Grady Management was founded in 1965 and continues to provide a full service residential, commercial, and consulting real estate firm in the greater Washington and Baltimore metropolitan area.  Learn more about Grady Management on our website or Facebook page.
