Free Tour of a LEED Chicago Home Saturday December 12

Ever wonder what goes into making a LEED Platinum candidate home? Now is your chance to tour a home going through the LEED for Homes program that is substantially complete.

This unique project has been a labor of love by the homeowner, and includes features such as:

• reclaimed copper roof
• remnant stone from blast fragments as a facade
• vegetative green roof
• geothermal heat pump system
• soybean spray foam insulation
• super-efficient cold cathode lighting
• solar photovoltaic panels
• vertical axis wind turbine
• Net zero power consumption

Join us on Saturday, Dec 12 (following the Illinois Solar Energy Association membership meeting at 10:00 AM) for a tour of this unique green home located on the Northwest side of Chicago.

This single-family home has not yet been certified, but a LEED Platinum level is anticipated.
