Since 2011, Redwood Energy has successfully led the design of over 5,000 solar powered affordable housing residences, 90% of which are all-electric. Between 2012 and 2019, only 1% of housing in California was all-electric-most of it led by Redwood Energy. Our client's innovative developments have received numerous design awards, including two Grand Prizes: the 2017 United Nations World Habitat Awards and the 2016 International PCBC Gold Nugget Awards.
Enabling our clients to go all-electric has lowered construction costs, enabled true Zero Net Energy housing, reduced low-income tenants’ utility costs and helped start a national movement towards clean energy buildings. Redwood Energy has provided services to more than 30 developers, including the nation’s largest non-profit affordable housing developer, BRIDGE Housing, and one of the top 10 for-profit affordable housing developers, The Pacific Companies. Our modeling work is used to finance construction loans that range between $10M and $60M, and our work is held to the highest standards of accuracy and timely response to deadlines. To date we have never missed a funding or building permit deadline, and we are widely regarded as one of the leading Title 24 energy consulting firms in the nation.
