Montego Bay believes in improving our environment, whether with partnerships or implementing environmentally friendly measures to our property. Based on a 2015 U.S. Energy Information Administration study, between 32% and 44% of total energy use in apartments went solely to temperature control. Water heating was the next largest category, at 27% to 32% of total energy use. Reducing heating needs alone has a big impact on apartment energy use. At its core, we strive to help reduce our resident’s household and lifestyle impact on the environment. We do this by including sustainable features in your apartment through technological devices, appliances, lighting systems, and fixtures. 

Sustainability Features:

·         Reducing carbon footprints

·         Using LED lighting

·         Energy star appliances

·         Motion sensors

·         Recycling bins on site

·         Water Conservation: Low flow fixtures, showerheads, washers

·         No flower policy to reduce water usage.

·         Turf replacement

The goal of Montego Bay’s sustainable construction is to minimize our building’s impact on the environment. With this investment, Montego Bay can pass along reduced utility costs through energy efficiency.
