Affordable Housing
We have long supported affordable housing through our consulting services, helping affordable housing providers produce affordable “green” housing for low income homeowners. Our services include training programs for the construction staff on cost-effective green building techniques, green homeowner education on how to live in their new home, assistance in writing residential construction specifications, and developing quality assurance plans to improve the workmanship in residential construction.

Neighborhood Development
IBS Advisors provides consulting services to urban revitalization groups that seek to renew old neighborhoods based upon Traditional Neighborhood Development practices learned through our experience working for Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise, Inc. This includes LEED for Neighborhood Development assessments, charrettes, development specifications, consulting on how to fund neighborhood revitalization, and stakeholder meetings.

Green Building Programs
With our extensive experience in shaping local, regional and national green building programs, we have developed a catalogue of proven green building practices that we use to help clients develop local or regional green building programs. We use a collaborative process involving the stakeholders to produce a program that is useable, functional and addresses the sustainability needs of the community.
