2nd Tour: 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Location #1: This LEED gold home, built to exceptional standards less than a year ago, is located in a developed, gated community in Dallas. The owner, a retired engineer, and his wife were very active in all aspects of the design/construction process. From the metal roof, providing lasting durability and insurance savings, to the strategically sited windows, filling the home with natural light without the unwanted solar heat gain, to the flexible HVAC system, functioning efficiently either for the small family or large social gatherings, to the exquisite furnishings, thoughtfully chosen sustainable materials throughout, the design strategies were carefully examined and implemented. The landscaping has incorporated a buried 1700 gallon tank, collecting storm water and roof runoff and used to support the drip irrigation system. The turf area was reduced to less than 15%, and there is extensive use of native plantings which results in less need for additional municipal water. You will have the opportunity to tour this exciting LEED Gold home with the owner, architect and builder.
Location #2: This exciting NetZero home will take your breath away. NetZero energy buildings are very energy efficient. From the energy efficient windows to the solar hot water heater, this home is an extrordinary green house. Please check back on this website for more information about this exciting home.
