   The Green House Project
 

The Green House Project seeks to improve the efficiency of off-campus student rental units in the city of Athens while ensuring the health and safety of occupants.

The project will serve a number of related goals: offsetting of Ohio University's carbon footprint as mandated by the Presidents Climate Commitment; reducing Athens' greenhouse gas emissions as directed by the Cool Cities Initiative; heightening awareness among Ohio University students and their landlords of the relationship between energy use, utility costs, and climate change; stimulating the use of energy-efficient practices and products; and improving the Athens city housing stock to make it more efficient, affordable, healthy, safe, durable, and comfortable.
