• First, it helped us realize that we were
  greener than we realized. This realization
  motivated us to take additional steps in building
  green.
•  
• Second, new ideas were offered that became
  considerations both in the renovation of our new
  office space, and also in our other
  construction/renovation projects.
• Third, we began to look closer at the cost of
  green. We examined the economic payback and
  the other benefits that may not be measured in
  economic terms.

Presbyterian Villages of Michigan Redford

• "We were so excited to work with the Nonprofit
  Facilities Center (NFC) to both identify and
  implement energy efficiencies in our new Green
  Houses.  Presbyterian Villages of Michigan were
  the first in Michigan to build these innovative
  7,000 square foot ranch-style homes for our most
  frail elders who need 24-hour skilled nursing
  care.  
• The efficiencies identified at the NFC Charette
  not only helped  PVM provide a more comfortable
  home, but also projected to save 30 - 40 in
  operating costs. NFC helped put the 'green' in
  Green Houses!"
