\n2012 NJDEP Governor’s Environmental Excellence Award for Innovative Technology for Grand Central development in Orange<\/strong>
\nRPM received from the NJ Department of Environmental Protection the 2012 Governor’s Environmental Excellence Award for Innovative Technology for the Grand Central development in Orange. The project is the first multi-family Climate Choice building in the state and a pioneering effort designed to approach net-zero energy use. Grand Central provides 70 units of affordable housing that utilize several energy efficient technologies, such as a solar photovoltaic system for power, a solar collector system for pre-heating water, exterior and roof insulation, and heat recovery ventilators. As a result, residents at Grand Central have the lowest energy usage of any RPM property. In addition, the landscaping emphasizes drought-resistant plantings and other design features that help decrease water use, along with low-flow fixtures in the units and common areas.

\nGrand Central awarded for “Green Groundbreaking” by NJ Green Building Council<\/strong>
\nGrand Central has transformed an underutilized downtown site into high-quality affordable housing for low and very low-income households and serves as an anchor for the revitalization of downtown Orange, NJ. Incorporating advanced energy-saving techniques and technologies, Grand Central is designed to be the affordable building with the lowest energy consumption for its size in the state of NJ under the Climate Choice program to encourage energy optimization.
