A GREENER AZ
We recently received our GREEN designation from the National Asscoaition of REALTORS. The next few posts will be concerning how we can all live more environmentally responsible.
If you or someone you know are considering building your next home, you might be thinking you have to build small to be energy efficient. Custom home builder Tom Norris has been building GREEN custom homes for a decade. Here are two examples:
The Gladding Residence - On Jan 16, 2009 we received certification from D.R. Wastchak, L.L.C. that the Gladding Residence energy usage is Net Zero eliminating 21,647.4 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year.
The Almanza Residence in north Scottsdale - On Jan 26, 2009 we received certification from D.R. Wastchak, L.L.C. Energy usage is 51% of a code built home, saving $2152 per year, and liminating 20,981.6 pounds (10-1/2 tons) of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year. Tom built this home using conventional design, conventional building materials, conventional building techniques, and a conventional A/C systems.
