Proud Green Home – August 2015
The first speculative Emerald Star certified home in Seattle goes net zero energy with solar panels and innovative building science.
Residential developer Dwell Development LLC combined cutting-edge green technology, renewables, and reclaimed materials to help the 2,218 square-foot home meet the rigorous requirements for Emerald Star certification developed by the Built Green residential building program.
The Built Green certification program was developed to establish environmental standards for construction materials, energy efficiency, water use and indoor air quality. The voluntary program requires builders to follow a specific set of criteria to attain a Built Green rating ranging from 3-Star, 4-Star, 5-Star or Emerald Star.
