Sustainable Living at The Edison
At The Edison, sustainable design is part of the living experience, not just an amenity we offer. As a LEED Gold Certified community, we bring together modern apartment design, thoughtful building features, and energy-efficient systems that support a more intentional way to live in Reno. The result is a community that feels current, comfortable, and built with long-term performance in mind.
What LEED Gold Means
The Edison is proud to be a LEED Gold community. LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is a green building rating system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). In simple terms, LEED certification recognizes buildings that are designed with a strong focus on efficiency, sustainability, and overall environmental performance.
How The Edison Brings That to Life
The Edison's green commitment shows up across both the community and the apartment homes themselves. Sustainable amenities including 200kw solar array on the roof, an electric vehicle charging station, secured bike storage, a living wall, and Energy Star appliances with LED lighting are what set us apart from other Reno apartments. Inside the apartments, features like smart thermostats and low-flow water-efficient fixtures continue that same focus on smarter everyday living.
When paired with the rest of the property's modern amenity package, these features help make The Edison feel like a community that was planned with both lifestyle and long-term performance in mind.
Why This Matters to Residents
For residents, sustainability is most meaningful when it shows up in ways that feel practical. In all our floorplans you'll find smart thermostats that offer more control over day-to-day comfort. Energy-efficient lighting and appliances that support a more modern home environment. Low-flow water-efficient features, reflecting a more thoughtful use of resources. And EV charging and secured bike storage that make it easier for residents to choose greener transportation options.
Just as important, these features fit naturally into the kind of experience many renters already want. People are looking for apartments that feel well designed, easy to live in, and aligned with the way they live now. At The Edison, efficiency is part of that equation. It is not there to overpower the experience, but to support it.
