The document discusses strategies to change tenant behavior in green communities to promote conservation, cost savings, and recycling. It identifies that a lack of awareness and communication has led to disengagement. Three solutions are proposed: 1) Posting informational signs about the building and tips for tenants, 2) Finding a tenant leader to engage the community, and 3) Creating a challenge to encourage conservation and recycling over 3 months with a community reward. The solutions aim to increase awareness, involvement and promote sustainability through behavior changes.

How can tenants behavior be changed in order to conserve energy, reduce costs and recycle as part of daily life in a green community?
Understanding Tenants
THE PLAZA NORTH 331 East 29th street 208 units diverse community
“What is green? I came from green. Why would I want to go back after all the progress we have made?.” PLAZA NORTH tenant
“We are very green. We recycle and turn our air conditioning off when we leave the house. We like to go to the coffee shop where it is nice and cool so we don’t have to run our air conditioning.” PLAZA NORTH tenants
“I don’t like the lamps. They are awful and I feel like I am living in an institution.” PLAZA NORTH tenant
SURVEY RESULTS - Tenants are aware of the global concept of a green community, but they are not aware that their building is one. - Lack of awareness that they live in a green community. - General awareness of some energy efficiency tips, but they are not being put into practice.
The majority of tenants recycle and understand the importance of it, however not all tenants are participating.
THE HARLEM BUILDING 127 West 135th street 10 buildings diverse community
“You keep coming here and I don’t even know who you are. Why would you come in and make this changes in a high risk area? And then, just leave it like this for 3 months?...” HARLEM BUILDING tenant
