Creating an
Impact.
Making a
Difference.

In the U.S, more than 1 in 4 households spend over half of their income on rent. This needs to change.

At PEF Advisors, we’re here to answer this, beginning with the communities and lives we serve. Through a dedication to low-income residents, our objectives are focused towards investing in social impact and public welfare, preserving affordability for the long-term, improving communities, providing social services and implementing energy and overall operating efficiencies. The result is better outcomes for our tenants and the world around us.

Sustainability Initiatives

Our focus includes implementing energy efficiency & environmentally conscious programs—not only because they benefit the environment but because they reduce costs, enhance infrastructure and improve quality-of-life. Each property acquisition is evaluated by an energy consultant for efficiency upgrades, and replacements are often free or come with significant rebates due to the asset qualifying as Affordable Housing.

Our sustainability programs include:

  • Solar panel installation
  • LED lighting
  • HVAC & Furnace Replacements
  • Nest thermostats
  • Xeriscape landscaping
  • Toilet replacements
  • Low-flow water fixtures
  • Hot water heater insulation & smart meters
  • Boiler controls

Outcomes

  • 64% Energy Usage Reduction (1.84 million kwh/year)
  • 16,000 therms gas saved per year
  • 39% Water Usage Reduction (8.5 million gallons/year)

*Reductions are all estimates. Gas reductions benefit tenants only and prior usage data is not available due to individual metering.

  • Meal Service
  • After School Programs
  • Toy Drives
