Florida-Friendly Partners
Sustainability through Teamwork
Building a sustainable community is a team effort. That’s why the Program for Resource Efficient Communities Home (PREC) works closely with local and global leaders in sustainability education and accreditation. These Florida-Friendly Partners help promote sustainability through the certification of more sustainable design, performance and management practices. Certification and accreditation are not only a good way to bolster a community’s social reputation but can also provide environmental and economic benefits.
