Member Spotlight

Advanced Energy

Congratulations to this month’s Member Spotlight, Advanced Energy!

Last year, Advanced Energy celebrated the 10-year anniversary of its SystemVision program – the only guaranteed affordable housing program in the nation. Through this program, Advanced Energy provides training and technical support to more than 100 affordable developers statewide to improve the health, safety, durability, comfort and energy efficiency of affordable homes. Each SystemVision home comes with a heating and cooling and comfort guarantee, ensuring homeowners can afford and enjoy living in the home they’ve worked so hard to purchase. To date, North Carolina families have saved more than $3.4 million in utility costs through the SystemVision program.

As a member of NC Housing Coalition, Advanced Energy is able to take advantage of technical information and more effectively network with other North Carolina organizations to achieve its goal of improving affordable housing in the state.

When the Coalition asked for nominees, we received the following testimonial from a member:

Advanced Energy's contributions to keeping the operating costs of affordable housing affordable are incalculable- and thus their contributions to improving the lives of those folks living there are, too. Advanced Energy led the state, region and nation for so many years in making sure that energy efficiency was not just for the rich but for all.

Their leadership in the industry led to this story, if indirectly. One of Weaver Cooke's clients' residents once told them that moving into an Energy Star NCHFA community that Weaver Cooke built meant they could afford their ‘meds’ again. THAT makes it all worth it. And we would not be here today without Advanced Energy.

As a membership organization, we're only as strong as our members. Luckily, our members are some of the best in the affordable housing business! We love to recognize those who are doing great work. If you're interested in becoming or nominating a Member Spotlight, please click here.
