Greener
Apartment Identifier
Welcome to The Green Apartment Network's Greener Apartment Identifier, a points-based program that enables Wisconsin property
owners and managers of up to 25 units to assess and then to justifiably claim
that they are “on the road to sustainability.”
To be considered for the Greener
Apartments Program, landlords must complete at least one action
in each of the seven sustainability categories. Please only select
actions that your property
already has, or that you have already accomplished, not actions
that are planned
for the future. Your rentals must be in Wisconsin
Yes, I understand.
