Crozet Green Building Educational Tour #2

Posted by Casey Williams on April 3rd, 2008

The second of four construction tours showcasing a variety of green building features will take place this coming Saturday, April 5th at 10am.  The homeowners, Brian and Joan Day, and the owner of Upstream Construction, Terry Herndon, will be on hand to answer questions about the project.  The home is being built to attain three green building certifications:  LEED for Homes, EarthCraft and EnergyStar. 

Tour #2 will focus on the installation of utilities in Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) walls and advanced insulation techniques, such as BioBased Soy Spray Foam applied under the roof.  These advanced building techniques can yield an insulation R-value well above local code requirements and ead to excellent energy efficiency.  Other unique features of the home construction will also be discussed. 

Please wear shoes suitable to walk up a steep gravel driveway.  If the weather is wet, it will be muddy. Directions to the building site can be found at www.Upstream-Construction.com.

    It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place.

    This is a great discussion…I think it sheds a lot of insight about it.

    I keep listening to the news speak about getting free online grant applications so I have been looking around for the best site to get one.

    I guess I agree with you but maybe if you explained it just a little more I could learn more. Thanks in advance.
