WCI Designs First Green New American Home
WCI Communities, Inc. has designed the first green certified New American Home, which previewed at the 2006 International Builders' Show in Orlando.
WCI's design of this year's New American Home received green certification from the Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC) for its sustainable design.
It is also the first time a builder's in-house of green design architectural team was selected to design the New American Home.
"We are honored to have been selected to participate in this project," said WCI President and CEO Jerry Starkey.The Green House of green design : New Directions in Sustainable Architecture and Design The word "green" has come a long way from simply being a color. In the world of architecture and design, green means cutting-edge, cost-efficient, and environmentally aware. For savvy home owners and home builders, sustainable design is fast becoming a part of mainstream living and resonates with good business sense.
AIA - COTE 2006 Top Ten Green Projects The Top Ten Green Projects program seeks to identify and recognize the benefits of a high performance, sustainable design approach; to educate the architectural community and the public at large on the increased value that sustainable design provides for developers, building owners and occupants; and to acknowledge architects as experts in the creation of energy conscious and environmentally responsible design solutions.
