Requires certain green building initiatives in plans for development or redevelopment of affordable housing planned for construction or substantial renovation.

This bill requires developers to incorporate specific green building standards in new affordable housing construction or major renovations of existing affordable housing. Projects must meet Energy Star energy efficiency standards, use LED lighting, include solar energy systems where feasible (with a 45-day exemption process for developers), and include features like EV charging stations and sustainable landscaping. Developers must also test soil for contamination before building new affordable housing and remediate if contamination is found. These requirements apply directly to affordable housing developers in New Jersey under the bill's defined "applicable projects."
