Build Green, Live Green:

The Build Green. Live Green. Home combines multiple energy efficiency strategies to result in a design that is expected to be 65 percent more energy efficient than a home built to the Energy Conservation Construction Code of New York State. Energy efficiency and environmental awareness are combined in this exciting home to create a prototype for the next era of high performance housing. The energy performance of the home will be documented through both short-term tests and analysis of energy bills through the home’s first year of occupancy. Design, construction and performance data of this home will be made available to the building industry and homebuyers at www.newportventures.net.
