DEEP GREEN HOMES IN THE TREASURE VALLEY

If you’ve pictured yourself living in a sustainable, super-efficient home, we’d like to talk to you!

Sustainable, Zero Net Energy homes are being built in markets around the country, at surprisingly affordable prices.  Keeping the spirit of Idaho and the Boise Valley, what do people want to see when it comes to Deep Green Homes in this market?  How big are they?  What features are must haves?  What level of finish should they have? Where should they be located?

USGBC-Idaho Chapter and Gary Christensen, Developer of the Banner Bank Building, are conducting a series of Discussion Groups between April 24^th and May 5^th to find answers to these questions.  An Eco-charette will be held the end of May to explore how to build these Deep Green Homes, and where the bottlenecks are that run up the costs locally.  The results will be shared with the home building community and the public in a variety of forums.

If you are willing to share your ideas, and hear what other people are thinking about Deep Green Homes and would like to participate register here!

Please share this invitations others you know who would be interested.  Thanks!
