The multifamily community known as Turtle Creek Apartments in Branson, Missouri is the first of its kind to earn the prestigious ENERGY STAR certification in Southwest Missouri, and only the third in the state of Missouri.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ENERGY STAR certification recognizes those properties that perform in the top 25 percent of similar facilities nationwide for energy efficiency and meet strict energy efficiency performance levels set forth by the EPA. In 2016, Turtle Creek Apartments earned the ENERGY STAR, signifying that all seven of its multifamily dwellings and Clubhouse have met the EPA ENERGY STAR certification criteria, ranking the community in the top 25 percent of similar performers across America.
"Sustainability is very important to us and we embrace opportunities to contribute to the longevity of our planet,” says Michael Pinkley of Turtle Creek. “It is a true honor to accept EPA’s ENERGY STAR certification in recognition of Turtle Creek Apartments’ energy efficiency efforts. Through this achievement, we have demonstrated our commitment to environmental stewardship while also lowering our community’s energy costs. We’re extremely proud to become one of only three multifamily properties in Missouri and the first in SW Missouri to earn the ENERGY STAR certification.”
Turtle Creek Apartments improved its energy performance by managing energy strategically across the entire organization and by making cost-effective improvements to its building(s). Turtle Creek Apartments achieved ENERGY STAR certification by making improvements in areas such as: building envelope air infiltration reduction, improved insulation and sound attenuation at all demising walls, insulated floors, insulated siding, high efficiency heating and cooling systems, thermal pane windows/patio doors, energy-efficient LED lighting upgrades, and energy-efficient appliances.
When asked about the importance of developing energy-efficient commercial properties, Branson’s City Administrator Bill Malinen said “Being a community that values its natural resources, we take city-wide sustainability very seriously considering everything from our excellent water quality, clean air initiatives, and even our innovative biosolids waste treatment facility that transforms Class-B solid waste to a pathogen-free Class-A biosolid to preserve the quality of our soil which ultimately ensures the ground water runoff into our water shed is free of contaminants. We are proud to honor and support sustainability-minded entities that are equally as passionate to ensure a sustainable community, creating energy efficient dwellings for our citizens as done at the Turtle Creek community.”
