Green Apartments

Looking for a way to give back and protect Earth's valuable resources? Many Tallahassee apartments make living green a priority through conservation efforts such as low-energy lighting, programmable thermostats, energy-efficient appliances, on-site recycling for residents, and electric car charging stations for fuel efficient vehicles. If you want to stay close to nature, consider an apartment with native landscaping, nature trails, picturesque ponds, or even a community garden. Also keep an eye out for green apartments in Tallahassee that are LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certified, the most widely used green building rating system in the world.

Tips for Living an Eco-Friendly Lifestyle with ‘Green' Apartments in Tallahassee

  • Monitor the Temperature: One of the easiest ways to conserve energy and valuable dollars is to program your thermostat or adjust it accordingly based on time of day. Don't heat or cool an empty apartment – if you know that everyone's going to be in class or at work for the day, go ahead and turn the air up a few degrees. Many green apartments in Tallahassee even come equipped with programmable thermostats, so you can pre-adjust the thermostat based on your schedule.

  • Ceiling Fans and Window Treatments: Utilize ceiling fans to cool down the apartment and circulate the air. You can also invest in blinds or curtains for the windows to block out heat from the sun. You'd be surprised how much cooler these simple additions will make your apartment!
  • Conserve Water: Despite the fact that about 71% of the Earth's surface is water, it's a resource that is easily wasted and one we must protect. Reduce water consumption by making the most of each load, whether it be in the dishwasher or as you're doing a load of laundry with your in-unit washer and dryer. Save water in the bathroom by turning the sink off while you're brushing your teeth and turning the shower on right before you get in.

  • Recycle, Recycle, Recycle: Utilize the property's recycling options to prevent reusable materials from ending up in a landfill. Many green apartments in Tallahassee offer recycling for materials including plastic, paper, and glass. If no recycling program is in place, chat with the leasing team about setting one up. If you want to go the extra mile, you may consider composting. Check to see if your apartment has a designated compost area for food scraps or consider starting your own. 

  • Switch to Low-Energy Lighting: Several green apartments in Tallahassee come equipped with low-energy lighting. However, when it's time to replace a bulb or as you illuminate the apartment with lamps, be sure to shop for eco-friendly CFL (compact fluorescent light) or LED (light emitting diode) bulbs. While these energy-efficient bulbs may cost a bit more upfront, they'll surely save you money in the long run.
