To celebrate the launch of their new website, Postgreen is throwing down at the end of July in Philadelphia. If you’re in the area, this would be a cool event to be at. Postgreen, in case you haven’t heard are the folks behind the 100k sustainable house. Their goal, at the start was to build a green LEED Platinum home for $100,000 in hard construction costs.
They’ve been updating the process at their blog for a good long while now, and back in May actually posted some cool images of the home. The completed home is seen above and you can see Render to Reality for a shot of the initial project image.
What’s green about the 100k house:
- certification – LEED Platinum
- energy star – certified
- solar – solar thermal hot water
- water – rainwater collection, low-flow, dual-flush
- heating – radiant in floor
- air conditioning – radiant, passive & ERV
- lighting – CFLs
- insulation – SIPs
- finishes – low or no VOC
- landscaping – ivy “green wall,” drought tolerant & 100% permeable
The 100k house is a great example of how you can build a greener home at an affordable cost. Right now Postgreen has launched a yet to be completed website, that includes an application that will allow folks to customize their own green home. The party at the end of July will include more announcements plus plenty of green home activities to go around (i.e. computers set up so that anyone can test out the new site, new models and at least one new facade design).
