Responsible property managers and home owners in sustainable cities need to rethink conventional approaches to grounds maintenance and classical landscaping practices and meet the changing standards of environmental conditions and water quality management.
Methods of green landscaping, vegetable growth, eco-friendly tree service, and contracting environmental services and programs will contribute to healthier living. The additional sustanability of composting, flower husbandry, organic herb gardening and rooftop greenhouses can sustain property appeal and reduce the carbon footprint as well.
Owners, residents, and property complex “citizenry” will be instructed and thus promote increased observance of green practices on the premises. Mulch practices, sustainable composting, and complementary plant types in the same planters or flowerbeds can aid in maintaining property value and attracting buyers and renters around sustainable cities.
Watering in the morning, versus at night, which promotes overnight bacterial growth should be a setting on automatic sprinklers. Climate corrected watering should be observed in sustainable cities and surrounding areas when storms or showers persist. Nothing looks more wasteful after a long rain than sprinkler systems starting up to water drenched lawns, flowerbeds, and grounds.
Checking drain flows and sewer volumes should result in lowered burden on local waste systems. Smart sprinklers and automatic watering and landscaping systems should be over-ridden when weather permits.
Over watering should be avoided, especially when sustainable cities, like many other cities, towns, and neighborhoods are growing more sensitive to resource management in every community for sustainable living practices.
Any solar powered water heating, hybrid power vehicle parking and recharge mechanisms, and wind turbines for every sustainable city property should be assessed for installation value and long term energy savings reductions.
Business imperatives will govern lowered power costs in the home and in municipal and commercial properties.
Increased property appeal, quality of life, eco-friendly renovation, and a reduced carbon footprint for sustainable neighborhood resources management will enhance value in any kind of real estate.
Preventive pruning, anti-erosion planning, and tenant participation in recycling can preserve property sales value. Investors looking for portfolio investments will take note of the profile of the complex, land, or real property. Technology for sustainability via solar paneled pool heaters, rain catchment, and more efficient waste removal management and volumes will create property value and sales interest. This responsibility will be recognized and increase pride of ownership.
Property managers might keep the following tenets in mind, and post them onsite as a eco-friendly reminder toward more sustainable behavior:
1) To burn it is better than sending it to a landfill.
2) To recycle it is better than burning it.
3) To reuse it is better than recycling it.
4) To reduce amount needed? is better than reusing it.
5) To eliminate the need for material is better than reducing it.
