Archstone, a leader in apartment investment and operations, announced today that
it is purchasing a cleaner electricity product for its 12 New York City and Brooklyn
apartment communities from Green Mountain Energy Company, the only electric services
company (ESCO) in New York focused solely on cleaner energy.

American Utility Management brokered the deal between Green Mountain Energy and 
Archstone. Based in Oak Brook, Ill., American Utility Management was founded in 
1994 and currently provides energy management solutions, bill payment, resident 
billing and utility submetering services for more than 365,000 multifamily units
across the U.S.

Archstone expects to purchase more than 14,621,564 kilowatt hours (kWh) of renewable
energy from **_Green Mountain Energy Company_** over the one year term of its agreement.
The purchase is for the electrical usage at the 12 Archstone New York City apartment
communities. This includes powering the facilities’ lobbies and other common areas
such as laundry rooms, and exterior lighting.

By purchasing renewable energy from U.S. sources to match 100% of its usage at these
facilities, Archstone will offset an estimated 19 million pounds of carbon dioxide(
CO2). That’s the equivalent of taking more than 4,000 taxi cabs off the streets 
for a month.

_“Green Mountain applauds Archstone’s leadership in purchasing a cleaner electricity
productfor its apartment communities in New York City,” said Scott Hart, President
of Commercial Services, [Green Mountain Energy](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/02/green-mountain-super-bowl-powering-clean-energy/)
Company.  “This renewable energy purchase further helps Green Mountain accomplish
its mission to change the way power is made.”_

and to enhance precious open spaces in our nation’s urban centers. Among the energy
efficiency features at Archstone communities today are energy-efficient appliances,
sub-metering of utilities and expanding co-generation projects, such as [solar power panels](https://greenlivingguy.com/2020/04/7-expert-tips-you-can-use-for-solar-power-maintenance/)
on some building roofs. Those features are coupled with natural resources conservation
efforts, including low-flow showers and toilets, smart controls on irrigation and
construction waste reduction.
