What better way to celebrate Earth Day than with a LEED home?
by Laura Wahlberg
Renaissance Homes announced today that their NW Natural Street of Dreams home will be built under the national Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System which is underway in Cresap Summit. This marks the company’s second LEED project after building Washington’s third LEED home by the same Construction Manager, Dennis McCrea.
The 4,145-square-foot, five bedroom, four bath structure is being built by Renaissance Homes, a leader in “green” building practices in the Portland/Vancouver area, to test the economic and energy-saving practicality of a number of green building techniques, according to Randy Sebastian, Renaissance president.
“The Home Builders Association is very excited for the first NW Natural Street of Dreams to feature all sustainably built homes. Renaissance Homes is leading the way with their ambitious LEED certification, which will be the first ever NW Natural Street of Dreams home to achieve the certification, “says Eric Stride, Home Builders Association of Metro Portland Show Manager.
