Green Building In Vancouver Washington

I will admit it. I have been frustrated with the lack of green and sustainable building projects here in Vancouver Washington. As an EcoBroker and one of the first Earth Advantage Certified real estate agents in Washington I have proudly had my fingers on the pulse of green building in Vancouver WA. The problem is that during the past 2 years it has been like feeling for the pulse on a corpse! Of course the pulse of the local building industry in general have been slowing to a dull thud.

Recently the green builders in Vancouver have been coming back to life. There was a gorgeous high efficiency home built for this year's parade of homes. Although they didn't go after the coveted LEED certification, it sure got some people's attention by demonstrating that beautiful and green can be used to describe the same house.

Better yet, Jon Girod of Quail Homes is currently working on a LEED Platinum project over at Granite Highlands Phase 4. (Interior pic of construction shown above) This home is a SIP built home with a passive solar design, water gathering and storage capabilities, solar panels, and a wind generator. This home will be very close to being a zero energy home and it will be the first of its kind here in Clark County.
