LEED – Green Residence

March 25, 2019 by Post

Marc Rutenberg Homes latest project pairs an aesthetic of modern elegance with design features that bring a comfort of lifestyle, health, and environmental sustainability to its newest Davis Island home. Clean indoor air, safe and sustainable building materials, solar panels, and Water Star plumbing fixtures are just some of the features that make the home “green”. The benefits reach the homeowners as well, as they live in a home that is better for their health, and better for their pockets, as using less energy and water means lower utility bills every month creating the ultimate Net Zero home.

The home, located on Davis Island, is reaching to obtain LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. LEED for Homes certification is a voluntary rating system that aims to create homes that are designed and constructed to be more energy and resource efficient and be healthier for its occupants. Innovative designs and technology, water and energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, materials and resources, and awareness and education are some of the features LEED certified homes possess. With the right design and the right builder, any new home can be created to uphold the standards required by LEED.
