2007 Best Green Remodel
NATIONAL AWARD WINNER
This beautiful whole
house remodel was accomplished through the use of many green building
techniques, and with particular attention to the use of sustainable
elements. Some of these include:
• Energy Star metal shingles that are recyclable and do not retain heat.
• Icynene insulation
• Hydronic radiant in-floor heat which allows thermostats to be kept 4
degrees lower
• Conversion back to more efficient cast iron radiators that were
salvaged
• Windows with U value of .28
• Siding cement board rather than wood
• Dual flush toilets
• Low-water use dishwasher
• Remnant granite in the kitchen and bathrooms
• Floors built with leftover wood and
• Working with existing space rather than adding on.
The significant idea in this project is that it is green...and it was
done with no aesthetic compromises.
