Cinnamon Springs has recently been honored with the Green Project of the Year award from the Utah Housing Coalition. This 144-unit “naturally occurring affordable housing” multifamily apartment complex received energy efficiency upgrades that benefited the property owner and significantly improved the living conditions for the residents.
Upgrades included new cold-climate heat pumps, new gas furnaces for a “dual fuel” heating solution, and smart thermostats. Rebates provided by Rocky Mountain Power reduced the cost of the upgrades and facilitated a cost-effective solution for the property owner, IDC Apartments. The work was also supported by Knowlton General, Hansen HVAC, and HECC Construction.
ICAST congratulates IDC Apartments. Projects like this one can be referenced in other work that aims to preserve and increase affordable housing, advance energy efficiency, and foster sustainable communities.
