An article from the Denver Business Journal, reports that on Monday, developer Lend Lease Communities LLC announced it's partnering with the National Renewal Energy Laboratory to incorporate “net-zero” energy, water, and waste goals into its communities. Currently, the company is working on two mixed-use developments in Colorado. Horizon Uptown is a 503-acre project in Aurora and Lowry Range is a partnership with the Colorado State Land Board to create a community on the project’s 3,870-acre development parcel. According to Lend lease, it will pull together local experts to define what it means to be a zero-net energy community and how the concepts can be incorporated into mixed-use developments. Megan Christensen, director of community development and sustainability for Lend Lease Communities said in a statement, “Lend Lease has set a goal to achieve zero-net energy, water and waste on all of our projects worldwide. This is the first step in achieving this goal.”
