Richmonders rally around public art, and some of the most inventive canvases of this past year were (drum roll) storm drain inlets! The Storm Drain Art Project recently garnered a National Environmental Achievement Award, for bringing public attention to ways we can keep our waterways pollution-free. Thanks to RVAH2O, an initiative of the City of Richmond's Department of Public Utilities, for offering this artistic public education plus engagement project.

Energy use intensity (EUI) is calculated by dividing a building’s site or source energy by its gross floor area. Calculating EUI allows for a comparison of the energy use between buildings based on size, type, or other characteristics.  Generally, a building with low EUI indicates efficient operation.  See this list of City of Richmond buildings over 5,000 sq. ft. and their EUI.

Enrichmond has partnered with students from VCU's Public Relations department to learn more about Richmonder’s views and opinions on urban green spaces.

Across the country, many cities are raising environmental awareness by planting trees and other plants in parks and public spaces. These areas, urban green spaces, become a place for the community to come together and create an eco-friendly environment. Enrichmond wants to increase urban green spaces across the city within existing places such as parks and playgrounds. This survey is around quick and confidential, allow yourself around 5 minutes to complete.
