No, these are townhouses. A townhouse is a single or two story unit that shares 2 common walls with the adjacent units. So, yes, I have a roof but CC&Rs preclude modification. I never thought of our rate as cheap but you made me look and you are right. Of course, my LED bulbs have a long payoff rate also but I like to be "greenish" if not "green".
Newer construction offers Energy Star homes but all the new houses are in BFE and I'm a inner city type. I live in walking distance of UNLV and the CC Library. This area, "East Las Vegas" was built out from the 60s through the 90s.
My unit is 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, 2 story, 1220 SF. I also own and rent 8 other units in the same complex, smallest 1048 SF.
I also replaced my windows with dual pane gas filled more because of noise (I'm in a perimeter unit) than power but it helps.

In Vegas?
Do you have a roof? I know some condo's only have ceilings and someone else has a roof, and I love condo living. I assume your association pays for ourdoor lighting. The issue with Vegas is your juice is SO CHEAP that solar does not pay. Solar will cost about .20/.23 cents a kilowatt hour to produce (over 20 years). You are probably paying .12? So solar makes no sense. There are people in California paying .52 a kilowatt hour for extremely large homes so solar makes plenty of sense for them.
