HUD Unveils New Concept Home Vision

Charleston home to be a model for sustainability and green building

HUD Unveils New Concept Home Vision - Charlston ORLANDO, FL - The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development unveiled its new vision for a sustainable, hurricane-resistant and energy-efficient home at the National Association of Home Builders' International Trade Show in Orlando. HUD's Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH) revealed the design plans for a Concept Home demonstration project to be built in Charleston, South Carolina.

Concept Home Charleston will serve as a model of sustainability, hurricane-resistance, efficient building practices, and floor plan flexibility. The project will incorporate the most advanced products and systems from leading manufacturers to demonstrate and educate both industry and consumers alike how design and technology innovations can create a sustainable, efficient and durable home that's also cost-effective to build and high in quality.

The Charleston home will be built at Poplar Grove, a 6,000-acre nature conservation community within Greater Charleston's historic Ashley River Preservation District and is expected to be completed by Fall 2008. (Source: HUD No. 08-015)
