In the fall of 2006, Dewey Homes began a project to begin to learn how to be more active in the Green Building space. I was designated the internal project manager for this project and have worked with our whole team (inside and outside) to start a new program that will help define and set the tone for the company going forward.
We started to build four specific R&D homes during the summer of 2008 that would each have a different level of certification and green technology in them. Our goal was to learn about green building techniques and how to incorporate them into production home building.
- Home One: Maplewood
- Designation:Energy Star Certified Home
- Location: Oakcrest Community - Valley Township, PA
- Home Two: Pennfield
- Designation: USGBC LEED-H Spec home and NAHB Certified Green Home
- Location: Oakcrest Community - Valley Township, PA
- Home Three: Gladwyne
- Designation: USGBC LEED-H Certified Home
- Location: King's Grant Community - Caln Township, PA
- Home Four: Augusta
- Designation: USGBC LEED-H Silver Certified Home
- Location: Raven's Claw - Limerick Township, PA
During our project, We have accumulated a number of good resources for other people to use to learn about greenbuilding. Here is the link to Green Building Resource Page
