Aida Palms - Lakeland, FLImagine an apartment complex that saves you money on utilities, offers a healthier living environment, and even reduces your impact on the planet. That’s the promise of National Green Building Standards (NGBS) which defines green building for single and multifamily homes, residential remodeling, and site development projects. Green building practices aren’t exactly breaking news, but our development and construction teams have been champions of sustainability in the affordable multifamily sector for nearly a decade!
So what is NGBS? It is a comprehensive rating system for sustainable construction. It goes beyond just energy efficiency, encompassing six key areas:
- Energy Efficiency: Think proper insulation, high-performance windows, and efficient appliances – all leading to lower utility bills for residents.
- Water Efficiency: Low-flow faucets and showerheads, as well as water-saving landscaping, mean less water waste and potentially lower water costs.
- Resource Efficiency: NGBS encourages using recycled materials and minimizing construction waste, making the building process more eco-friendly.
- Lot Development & Site Design: This promotes walkable communities with easy access to amenities, reducing reliance on cars.
- Building Operation & Maintenance: Clear guidelines ensure the building continues to function efficiently over time.
- Indoor Environmental Quality: Proper ventilation, use of low-VOC paints, and other measures create a healthier living space for residents.
By incorporating NGBS, our development (RAD), construction (RAC), and management (RAM) teams create communities that are not only good for residents’ wallets and health, but also for the environment. National Green Building Standards offer a win-win for affordability and sustainability, paving the way for a greener future for all.

We are thrilled to unveil an exciting new incentive program to site employees designed to celebrate and reward exceptional employee performance. Introducing the Going the Extra Mile (GEM) Program! This program aims to recognize those employees who consistently exceed expectations and contribute significantly to our company’s success.
Program Launch and Eligibility
The GEM Program is set to launch in the 3rd quarter of 2024. To be eligible for this recognition, employees—both part-time and full-time—must have at least six months of service with Royal American Management.
Nomination Process
Here’s how the nomination process works:
- Each quarter, Regional Managers will nominate one outstanding employee from their portfolio.
- The nomination form, signed by the SRD or RVP, will then be submitted to HR by the designated deadline.
- All nominees will be entered into a raffle.
Qualifications for Nomination
A nominated staff member may demonstrate one or more of the following:
- Volunteering for extra responsibilities with a positive and willing spirit.
- Demonstrating leadership or an ability to motivate others.
- Addressing challenges in innovative ways.
- Encouraging peers to embrace and support change.
- Creating novel approaches within existing constraints and swiftly moving from ideas to implementation.
Candidates should perform in a manner that substantially exceeds the normal expectations of their job descriptions.
Rewards and Recognition
The rewards for the GEM Program are designed to highlight and celebrate the exceptional contributions of our employees:
- The raffle winner will receive $250 in points awarded through Incentco.
- All nominees will receive $25 in Incentco points.
- Nominees will also be recognized with a special post on our Dispatch.
Important Note
Please note that once an employee has won, they must wait a full 12-month period before being eligible to win again. This ensures that we have the opportunity to recognize the outstanding efforts of a diverse group of employees throughout the year.
Further Details
The form to nominate is located on the Intranet under Employee Perks.
We hope you share our excitement about the GEM Program and the positive impact it will have on our workplace. Here’s to recognizing and rewarding those who go the extra mile!
