VCDC encourages the “green building” philosophy, incorporating resource efficiency and sound building science into the design and construction of affordable housing. In addition to protecting the environment, green building can result in lower utility bills for residents of multi-family rental communities as well as the property owner.
The Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA) has encouraged green building in its Qualified Allocation Plan which governs the allocation of federal housing tax credits. VCDC encourages its development partners to incorporate Earth-Craft multi-family green building standards and to obtain EarthCraft certification for their projects.
To learn more about green design and construction, visit the EarthCraft website at www.earthcraftvirginia.org or contact VCDC Development Officer, Chris Sterling at csterling@vacdc.org or 804.482.5388.
