New Jersey Apartment Association Honors Jacob Ford Village
The AirTight Division (“AirTight”), an operating unit of Lapolla
Industries, Inc. (“Lapolla” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: LPAD),
which markets, promotes, and sells energy saving products and energy
reduction services, today announced the attainment of the Green Building
Retrofit Award by Jacob Ford Village.
Jacob Ford Village, a 270 unit community in Morristown owned by Home
Properties was presented with a Green Building Retrofit Award from the
New Jersey Apartment Association in October 2015 for implementing
AirTight’s Multi-Family Energy Reduction Program.
The AirTight Division’s Multi-Family Energy Reduction Program is a
proprietary energy conservation measure program which involves providing
for an energy use and savings analysis for a multi-family property and
implementation of identified energy conservation measures suitable for
such property with the goal of containing and reducing energy costs on
an annual basis.
In 2014, Home Properties, together with a select group of consultants
and contractors, embarked on AirTight’s energy reduction program for
Jacob Ford Village. The project was accepted by NJ Clean Energy for its
Pay for Performance Incentive Program, which provides rebates of up to
50% of the overall cost of improvements based on the amount of energy
saved.
“Our goal going into the project was to reduce energy cost, reduce
the carbon footprint and make more comfortable homes for the residents.
Property owners can increase profitability and property value by
decreasing their energy cost,” commented Howard Van Natta, Executive
Vice President for AirTight.
“Working with the Lapolla / AirTight team on this project has been a
great experience. They are professionals in every aspect of the
work and step in the process. Not only did they deliver the
energy saving results that were discussed since day one, they did it
with a level of supervision and support that has truly benefited the
property and our residents living environment,” said Brent Kohere
Regional Vice President, Home Properties.
“We are thrilled that the Jacob Ford Village project was recognized
for using cutting-edge technology to reduce their natural gas usage, on
average, by an unprecedented 45 percent,” concluded Mr. Van Natta.
The AirTight Division with its current proven case studies is
addressing the entire multi-family industry in the northeast and
throughout the United States.
