KEY ENERGY EFFICIENCY RELATED WORK:

Trained auditors, modelers, and green building consultants can help navigate a completive tax credit application, green financing through HUD, or any energy and green-related programs.

ADDITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

Coronavirus has impacted the housing industry on an enormous scale – for both housing professionals and residents alike. Despite a challenging 2020, D3G’s Energy and Sustainability team quickly adapted to new protocols, inspection processes, and travel restrictions. Given these difficult circumstances and the ever-changing landscape, they were undeterred. D3G’s tireless team efforts consistently produced high quality, comprehensive reports that met clients’ needs and kept projects moving forward while remaining diligent to health and safety procedures.

The Energy & Sustainability team wrapped up a strong year with some well-deserved and notable accomplishments:
