Greensburg House X is a demonstration home that will be built by the not-for profit, Greensburg GreenTown. This home as well as other Green designs will be built by GreenTown in the town of Greensburg, Kansas, which was decimated in May of 2007 by an EF-5 tornado. The purpose of this particular design is to demonstrate that affordable homes can be built in a Green, sustainable manner.

	moderns_r_us says: This house is much smaller than the typical home today, but given that the average family is half the size of a family in 1950 and the average home is double the size of one from 1950, we have a lot to learn from this modest 3 bedroom, 1400 square foot house. By the way the 3 bedroom 1400 square foot numbers give us an 8 point head start in our quest for 90 points and a LEED Platinum certification. A HERS rating of 36 (64% better on energy use than a code designed home) gives this home another 27 points towards LEED Platinum. Just for reference an Energy Star home would have a HERS rating of 85 or better. A code designed home would have a HERS rating of 100. Many homes built new today still do not meet the current energy code and therefore have a HERS rating higher than 100. Posted 2 months ago. ( permalink )
