Follow on Google News | Annual Green Home Tour Nearing Kick OffBy: HBADOC With today’s home buyers looking for healthy, efficient, cost-effective homes, green builders are poised to fulfill these consumer needs. The Tour showcases a diverse collection of certified green new and remodeled homes in this annual open house, with a building professional onsite at each home to answer questions and present the home’s green features. The tour homes may be in various stages of construction or owner-occupied. This is a unique opportunity to see first-hand some of the innovative green building practices at work in our area. According to Jeff Wiblitzhouser, 2015 GHBT Chair, the following defines high-performance green certification: “The Triangle Green Home Tour features new homes and renovations by many of the leading builders in the Triangle area,” says Wiblitzhouser. “These builders are an elite group of professionals who are not only passionate about being on the forefront of residential building science and technology, but also include professionals who are recipients of national awards and are recognized as thought leaders in their field. You will enjoy not only touring these homes, but take away an increased understanding and appreciation of what makes a superior home and the thoughtfulness and exhaustive detail that goes into the design and construction of each one.” The Triangle has long been recognized as a leader in building innovative, high-performance, green homes. According to the Home Innovation Research Labs’ National Green Building Standard Certification Program, nearly 22% of all green certified projects in the country are NGBS Green certified in North Carolina. The HBAs of the Triangle look forward to hosting the 10th annual Green Home Tour to show local homebuyers the array of green certified home options available to them. A Kick Off Reception for the Green Home Tour will be held in Orange County on Friday, May 1, 4:00 – 6:00 pm at the Forest Ridge Community Model Home, 301 Clarkson Ridge Lane in Hillsborough. On Saturday, May 2, 10:30 – noon, a Chatham County Kick Off Reception will be held at the Briar Chapel Club House, 16 Windy Knoll Circle in Chapel Hill. Green Home Tour guidebooks are available at all area Harris Teeter stores, HBA offices, and area Realtor® Association offices.
