2. HOLIDAY LIGHTING CONSERVATION
Switch to Energy-Efficient Lighting: Recommend LED holiday lights, which use significantly less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs.
Set Timers for Outdoor Decorations : Encourage tenants to use timers to limit the hours decorations are on, reducing overall energy costs for the property.
Recover Shared Utility Costs: For properties with communal holiday decorations or lighting, ensure that these costs are fairly allocated among tenants through a transparent billing system.
3. WATER CONSERVATION DURING HOLIDAY HOSTING
Address Potential Overuse: Increased holiday cooking, cleaning, and hosting can lead to higher water usage. Send reminders with water conservation tips, such as running dishwashers only with full loads.
Prevent Utility Cost Disputes: Implement a cost recovery system that ensures water usage is accurately billed to tenants, promoting accountability and preventing disagreements over shared expenses.
