What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?
Certified Platinum through the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED program. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Platinum is the highest rating in the rating system used by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to determine the energy and resource efficiency of a home. The home has also been verified as an Energy Star Qualified Home, to meet or exceed strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
A Geothermal heating and cooling system has been installed, which uses the relatively consistent temperature of the earth to heat and cool the house. This allows for much higher efficiencies and reducing heating cost by as much as 75% and uses no fossil fuels. Closed cell foam insulation has been used throughout, far exceeding tradition R values. Bamboo and eco-friendly tile flooring have been installed. FCS- certified materials have been used in the construction from the framing to the cabinets. FSC (Forest Stewardship Council U.S.) is a nonprofit organization devoted to encouraging the responsible management of the worlds’ forests. The home also incorporates recycled materials; high efficient windows, doors, and plumbing fixtures; a rain water collection system; drought tolerant landscaping; energy star rated lighting and appliances; and has been prepped to accommodate other alternative energy sources. The site and house have been designed to maximize the energy efficiency and sustainability.Property Description
