While it’s important for renters to practice energy conservation in their apartment homes, there are numerous things that property managers can do in order to conserve energy on a larger scale. Remember, window coverings, while decorative, also provide an important function, serving as a barrier to outside heat in the summer, while keeping heat inside during the winter.

And while just about any window covering is better than nothing, with current energy prices increasing, managers may want to start thinking about replacing those traditional blinds and window shades with more energy efficient ones.
