LANCASTER, Pa. - June 4, 2013 - PRLog -- Home will be Gold-Rated by National Association of Homebuilders

Lancaster County, PA (June 5, 2013) – Coldwell Banker Select Professionals proudly announced a collaboration with Lancaster County Career & Technology Center (LCCTC) to market one of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania’s only purpose-built “green” homes, recently completed in Mount Joy Township.

The home, a ranch-style design with energy-efficient Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) construction, will be featured in the 2013 Lancaster Parade of Homes, set to run June 15-23.  Details on the Lancaster Parade can be found at www.lancasterparadeofhomes.com. Following the Parade event the home will be available to show by appointment with the listing agent, Kate Duke of the Lancaster Sales office (717-283-7688).  

590 Old Market Street in Mount Joy is the third home of four slated in the community named “Apprentice Green”, planned from the outset to be a model of advanced building techniques, sustainable design and energy efficiency. Project manager Michael Dodson led a construction team of school instructors and students in the building trades with the generous help of many donors of materials and time.  The completed home has numerous green features such as rainwater catchment systems, solar hot water, advanced framing and air-sealing techniques and much more.  

A special recognition reception is slated for Thursday, June 13th from 5-7 pm at the home to honor the students, faculty and donors to the project.  Please call Kate Duke for registration.

“We are very excited about our continuing relationship with LCCTC and their latest offering“ commented Coldwell Banker Marketing Vice President Jeff Geoghan.  “both Kate and I have sold green homes in Lancaster County and the student homes they build have a special meaning to our clients”.

The NAHB research center assisted with the project, which is expected to earn enough program points to qualify for NAHB Gold level certification.  A complete description of the home and the project community can be found at www.apprenticegreenhomes.com.

Open hours during the Lancaster Parade of Homes will be 12-6pm weekends and 5-8pm weekdays.  LCCTC staff and Coldwell Banker Lancaster PA real estate agents will be on hand to discuss the home with visitors and answer questions.  Visit www.LCCTC.org for more information about the building trades program.
