Maryland’s 1st Green Community!
Posted on | May 28, 2009 |
It is with great enthusiasm that I invite you to come to the Muddy Boots Tour and
Ground Breaking of Maryland’s 1st all Green Community!
Maryland’s very 1st Green Community is about to become a reality!!! The ground breaking of the 1st of 72 green homes is scheduled for Friday. How are green homes built? With energy efficient lighting, heating/cooling systems and appliances; superbly insulated walls, ceilings, windows and doors; water conservation fixtures and plumbing systems, recycled and low VOC (volatile organic compound) materials, opportunity to go “off the grid” with solar and geothermal options; homes built to and above LEED (Leadership in Energy Efficiency Design), NAHB (National Association of Home Builders) and Energy Star green building standards. To draw a car analogy…these homes will look and perform like BMWs with the gas mileage of a Prius. To compliment the green homes, the entire community is built around a series of rain water capture systems and holding ponds. These are not only beautiful, but also designed to protect and enhance the health of the small tributary streams that flow into the Severn River and then into the Chesapeake Bay. Green is no longer the future of building in Maryland. It is now a reality. The Green Community model home (for which this ground breaking is scheduled) is planned to be a working, teaching resource as well as an example for all builders in the area. The public will be invited to see, touch and experience what makes homes green. This is a giant leap forward in bringing Maryland into the Greener future!
