I'm a landlord, so I understand having zero incentive to care about how efficient a rental unit is. The AC unit at one property looks like it was built when they invented AC, or shortly thereafter. It works though, so I have no reason to replace it.
One property I used to live in has many efficiency upgrades that I made, and now that I'm renting it out and covering the utilities cost out of my pocket, I have incentive to make saving energy and water as easy and automatic as possible.
My apt complex has a wall mounted air-source heat pump similar to what hotel rooms have. I was surprised it even had that considering landlords don't care how much you spend on heating. It's probably among the cheapest and least efficient though. The water heater is the least efficient, along with the fridge. Faucet aerators aren't efficient or effective.
