Paisano Green Community Senior Housing

The Paisano Green Community (located 4000 E Paisano Drive) is the first NetZero, fossil fuels free, LEED Platinum, affordable housing community in the United States. This 73-unit property is built on a 4.2 acre site and is an energy-efficient, El Paso Housing Authority complex for senior citizens. The complex feature wind turbines, rooftop solar panels, air-source heat-pump water heaters and more. All energy consumed is generated on site, and no fossil fuels will be burned at the complex -- making it one of the most cutting-edge green projects in the nation, officials said.
