EnviroDevelopment
Developments for environmentally conscious home buyers.
Through our EnviroDevelopment program, UDIA empowers purchasers to make informed assessments as to whether a property offers the green features they are after.
EnviroDevelopment is a scientifically-based rating system that involves an independent assessment across six areas of sustainability: water, ecosystems, community, waste, materials and energy.
Developments that achieve certification in one or more of these sustainable elements can use the corresponding EnviroDevelopment symbol in their marketing materials.
When purchasers see the any one of the EnviroDevelopment symbols on a development, they can be assured they are buying into a project that is excelling in that specific area of sustainability.
Where you see the EnviroDevelopment logo, you will know that the development has been designed to be friendlier to the environment.
Get the recognition that your project deserves.
