The L+M team seeks out innovative ways to incorporate resiliency and efficiency measures into our projects, from the largest Passive House project in the country to NYC’s first net-zero community. We aim to identify best practices that reduce energy usage and operating costs while lessening our impact on the environment.
This Earth Day, we are spotlighting two community partners who are committed to helping us do just that with a boots-on-the-ground approach. We’ve teamed up with these organizations at our BronxPoint and Cooper Gardens properties to bring energy‑saving resources and programs directly to residents.
SolarOne is a not-for-profit organization that fosters sustainable practices and environmental equity across New York City through innovative programs and education. In 2025, SolarOne team members visited Bronx Point and Cooper Gardens to help residents enroll in a community solar program, which reduces their electric bill by 10 – 20 percent! After enrolling, the residents’ in-unit electrical usage will be supplied by a solar farm located in upstate New York.
Logical Buildings uses its award-winning climate technology to help owners and managers of apartment complexes and commercial spaces reduce their energy costs. At Bronx Point and Cooper Gardens, representatives from Logical Buildings helped residents enroll in the GridRewards™ program, a free app that that pays users to reduce electricity usage during peak demand. Users can earn cash rewards totaling up to 20 percent of their annual bill by turning off ACs, lights, and delaying appliance use during peak demand periods.
These partnerships reflect L+M’s ongoing commitment to energy efficiency, sustainability, and resident engagement, combining innovative technology with trusted community outreach to create meaningful, everyday impact.
