to $1,000 per home. The POWER Program will perform substantial
and extensive retrofits to another 75 homes that have been
identified for above average energy consumption. Green Affordable Housing - The City’s Housing Department is committed to meeting LEED standards for its construction projects, including the first LEED Platinum affordable home in Florida. Two LEED houses are complete, and one is underway.
Central Florida Energy Efficiency Alliance – The City started CFEEA with Orange County, local utilities and building associations. The program is encouraging 2,000 buildings to use Energy Star Portfolio Manager and reduce energy consumption 10%.
Sustainable Landscaping - The City is undergoing landscaping code revisions to make Orlando landscaping one of the most sustainable and water-wise locations in Florida. Future potable water supply will become a limiting factor in the future growth of the area.
