The Northwest EcoBuilding Guild is hosting the Seattle Green Home Tour on April 16-17. Homes on the tour highlight various green building, remodeling and retrofitting techniques, such as Net Zero Energy use, Passive House standards of super energy-efficient construction, and where to purchase eco-friendly products.
The free Seattle Green Home Tour is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on April 16-17.
Included in the tour is High Point's Neighborhood House High Point Center by Environmental Works.
The building includes administrative and counseling offices, a family center, large classrooms, a teen center, youth tutoring, and a Head Start Program. Sustainable design concepts identified fro the project should yield a LEED Gold Certified project. Included in these concepts are: redevelopment of an urban site close to public transportation systems; providing bicycle storage and a shower for alternative transportation users; collecting and filtering rainwater from impervious surfaces through the stormwater system established throughout the high Point Master Plan; preventing solar heat gain while increasing daylight into spaces through the use of external shading devices; conserving electricity by specifying a Ground Source Heat Pump HVAC system; and generating up to one half of the building’s electricity needs with a 4,000 SF photovoltaic array, the largest to date in the State of Washington.
This green home looks great. I would love to visit this some time. I am pretty sure that this green home will not only give a nice tour to different green homes but will also give tips to increase energy efficiency.

This house seems very compelling indeed. I wonder how the interior looks like. This house needs to have an excellent wiring system. An electrical repair Garden City electrician can certainly help make the wiring system of this house perfect. Anyway, I wish I could have this kind of house.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff here. The information and the detail were just perfect. I think that your perspective is deep, its just well thought out and really fantastic to see someone who knows how to put these thoughts down so well. Great job on this.
