Sustainable Developments

As an organization, Rea Ventures Group strives to be progressive in energy-efficient practices by identifying sustainable opportunities in the design, development, construction stages, and on-going management of our communities. We seek to provide a green lifestyle option at our communities by focusing on quality site locations, energy and water efficient materials and systems, appropriate indoor air quality design, enhanced community design, and quality control during construction.

The main components of Rea Ventures Group green building initiative include:

  • -Utilization of building simulation software to identify energy efficient design options. A typical RVG apartment currently achieves a 25-30% reduction under the 2006 IECC (energy code).
  • -Reducing utility consumption and increasing comfort through air sealing and insulation with a high degree of quality control during application.
  • -Building durability measures including product selection and appropriate application.
  • -Enhanced mechanical system design, installation, and quality control providing energy savings directly to tenants.
  • -Indoor air quality strategies that include the design of ventilation systems to achieve the ASHRAE 62.2 standard and appropriate selection of interior products to reduce indoor air pollutants.
  • -Water conserving appliances including dishwashers, washing machines, and low flow fixtures.
  • -High efficiency light fixtures and ceiling fans in units and common areas.
  • -LED or CFL lighting in common areas and site lighting.
  • -Solar PV or Solar thermal (water heating) where feasible as a measure to reduce overall operating expenses.
  • -Superb site locations to increase connectivity to schools, parks, services, and transit where available.
  • -Drought tolerant, native and low impact landscape designs to reduce costs of irrigation and maintenance while continuing to provide an attractive community environment.
  • -Neighborhood design strategies that include community gardens, enhanced pedestrian and greenspace environments, and road designs that intentionally slow traffic speeds where necessary.

Rea Ventures Group has developed sustainable constructed multifamily communities since 2011. All new construction will be certified by EarthCraft™, a green building program designed for the Southeast, provides rigorous standards and third party verification of sustainable building goals.

As a result of the efforts to promote sustainability and efficiently, Rea Ventures Group, has been awarded recognition of 4 certified EarthCraft Communities™ and 6 certified EarthCraft Multifamily™ developments.

In addition to sustainable new construction, Rea Ventures provides energy efficiency upgrades in the rehabilitation of existing properties. Such efforts go above code minimum standards and strive to improve the efficiency of each renovated apartment by 20-25%.

In 2014, the company began an effort to renovate 20 multifamily communities across Georgia. Renovations included energy efficient windows, lights, bath fans, appliances, and high efficiency heating and cooling systems. Among the 20 apartments, 14 are within a Georgia Power service area and are participating in the Georgia Power Home Energy Improvement Program.
