BRA Expands Green Triple Decker Project

Sep 30, 2010

Seeks applications for five residences to participate in sustainability effort

The Boston Redevelopment Authority is pleased to announce that it is expanding its Green Triple Decker project from two to five structures and is ready to accept applications. In partnership with the federal Energy Star program, local utilities NSTAR and National Grid and Historic Boston Inc., the BRA has developed a strategy to improve the energy efficiency of Boston’s triple-deckers which will result in lower energy costs for occupants, while tackling a potent municipal green house gas emission target. The Green Triple Decker program will provide grants, matched with utility incentives, to qualifying owner applicants to achieve significant energy performance improvements in Boston’s historic triple decker housing style. Triple decker owner applicants should be individuals who have planned some renovation work, are willing to work with a team of building energy efficiency experts to develop their project, and are ready to proceed logistically and financially.
