Share
Destaron is committed to being as energy efficient as possible, seeking out the latest advancements in green building design and operation.
We have successfully executed many green initiatives throughout the Destaron portfolio. Not only do we feel that we are doing the right thing for the environment, but we realize it is also smart business. We know we are increasing resident loyalty, providing a healthier living and working environment.
All sites are equipped with organic and recycling bins.
Destaron takes the initiative when it comes to the buildings heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Having had the same professional HVAC company for over twenty (20) years, ensures that we have a loyal contractor which knows our buildings and makes sure that we have the most up-to-date, energy-efficient systems in our buildings.
Destaron implemented upgraded filtration to improve the fresh air and indoor air quality to exceed the industry standards.
We have begun installing motion activated sensors on light fixtures and replacing hallway lights with more expensive, yet more energy-efficient, fixtures.
Elevator and exterior lights have also been upgraded to LEDs which utilize much less energy and provides better lighting.
All roofs are inspected yearly and if a new roof is required, we ensure that it is with the latest insulation technology to reduce energy required for heating and cooling.
Energy efficient water softeners have been installed in cities where the city water supplied to our buildings is considered hard water.
Most of the underground garage ramps have been replaced with snow sensors that turn on only when required to reduce the amount of electricity used to keep the ramps snow free.
Even our website and online processing help us to be more energy efficient as many of our paper-based information and leasing materials are now available online reducing our paper requirements.
At Destaron, we believe that it is the right thing to help preserve our precious natural resources. We are committed to providing a quality living experience for our residents while upgrading our buildings to ensure an eco-friendly environment which also results in ongoing cost reductions for our residents.

Destaron believes residents should get pristine units when they move in and all units should be properly maintained.
The “Destaron Difference” may cost more at the outset, but the strategy has proven itself, with most buildings having a large majority of residents who have lived there for five years or more (or even 10+ years).
