For this month’s tour we will be visiting Beau Developments new urban lofts project in Seattle’s Judkins Park Neighborhood. This community of homes are very unique not only for their extensive use of green building materials, but for the fact that they will be the first homes in the city of Seattle to be certified under the US Department of Energy Builder’s Challenge program. They are estimated to provide their homeowner’s with a 40% reduction in energy costs over homes built to the 2004 IECC home.
As with all of our tours, they are intended to be more than just a tour of a home, but a complete green building experience. Participants are given an introduction to common green building materials at ecoHAUS and then a quided tour of a selected green project led by the people that are responsible for the homes design and construction.
Tour starts at ecoHAUS at 11:00 am on Saturday, February 13th and will conclude at roughly 2:00 pm at the Beau Development site. Refreshments will be served at ecoHAUS before carpooling to the tour of these homes.
