Green Hope, Mercy Housing’s environmental sustainability department, and Decatur Place staff recently partnered with Sensor Industries, ProdigyLink, Energy Outreach Colorado, and Mile High Youth Corps to provide water and energy-saving upgrades and community solar subscriptions to Decatur Place residents in Denver. During the first week of November, Sensor Industries and ProdigyLink installed toilet leak sensors, flood sensors, and real-time water meter monitoring, which will help prevent water waste at the property; this technology was partially funded by a generous grant from the Housing Partnership Network and The Percival Stern Foundation. That same week, Mile High Youth Corps upgraded units with over 400 energy-efficient lightbulbs and low-flow water fixtures. Energy Outreach Colorado helped enroll residents into community solar subscriptions, which will save households ~50% on their monthly electricity bill and allow them to make the switch to clean energy – about 25 households signed up!
