LEED homes in Northside
We’ve mentioned these local green houses before, but here are some photos of the Northside LEED green residences taken during the EcoBags Lunch Series organized by ENCORE. Both homes are under contract, but it’s still worth an inside look at what makes these places unique.
The homes from the front yard on a beautiful summer day. Notice the drought tolerant and native plants in the landscaping.
Insulation is key to high energy efficiency.
Quality HVAC systems are designed to use minimal power.
My personal favorite: a dual flush toilet to save water where you use the most. Choose a half flush for #1 and whole flush for #2.
High windows provide natural light for the room and a way out for hot air when opened.
Jami and Libby, the realtors who put together ENCORE in the kitchen of the second house. Check out the bamboo floors, responsible cabinetry, Energy Star appliances, and the recycled material countertops.
