EarthCraft Multifamily Technical Advisory Services

Each program is specialized to meet certain needs in the construction and energy efficiency communities. In 2004, the program expanded to produce the first multifamily-specific green building program in the nation. ECMF continues with the tradition of a strong focus on energy and resource efficiency as well as comfort and sustainability. This program encompasses new construction, renovation, gut-rehabilitations, and adaptive reuse.

Synergy Custom Services began specializing in the Multifamily and Multifamily Renovation programs in 2012. In 2010, before starting Synergy, Ed Foskey, began work with EarthCraft Multifamily program. Since that time, approximately 78 projects and nearly 5,000 units have been certified.

As EarthCraft Technical Advisor, Synergy's role is to assist the owner/developer, the general contractor, and all sub-contractors in assuring that the project meets or exceeds the standards and goals set for the project. This includes plan review, energy modeling, and a minimum of three inspections per apartment unit to verify that each is in compliance with all parts of the certification process. In the end, the job of the EarthCraft Technical Advisor is to assure that the project is a success.

This program is well-designed for the affordable housing market because it provides the owners with a property that was designed for longevity and lower maintenance.
