Sustainability

Black Oak specializes in creating and retrofitting properties that are efficient, low-impact, and sustainable. We remain committed to integrating what is best for the environment into cost saving solutions for efficiency and value creation.

Black Oak is implementing sustainable management practices to incorporate an approach to property assessment and management which includes weighing economic impacts, social responsibility and environmental stewardship. The Company's management team reviews and assesses the existing conditions of each property and outline capital improvement guidelines which will be incorporated to improve upon building efficiency and overall property sustainability. Primary guidelines focus on HVAC upgrades, roof insulation, lighting and water efficiency, with a goal of improving property efficiency by 30% within each property. The Company works with existing contractors to establish sustainable management practices and incorporate environmentally friendly materials and products within each property. In addition, the Company is working to educate tenants on efficiency upgrades and existing federal and state incentive programs. Sustainability practices are being developed in-house and will include staff education and sustainable certifications when applicable.
