National Green Building Conference Coming to Raleigh

The 12th annual NAHB National Green Building Conference will be coming to Raleigh, N.C. May 16-18. 

We're excited to be part of the festivities here in the Triangle, and the timing coincides with our very own 5th Annual Green Home Tour, which is scheduled for the weekends of May 15-16 and May 22-23. 

Each year's Green Building Conference includes a Tour of Homes, which is being organized this year by the Green Home Builders of the Triangle, veterans of green home tours in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area.

Just like the 5th Annual Green Home Tour, which is open to the public, this tour includes examples of affordable, production and high-end homes, both completed and under construction. 

5th Annual Green Home Tour - Raleigh Green Home BuildersThere is growing interest in green homes and green building techniques, and the National Green Building Conference will be focusing on topics like:

    • Not So Big Goes Mainstream: Crafting a More Sustainable Suburbia.  The focus across the nation is towards smaller, mulitpurpose homes as McMansions become less popular. 
    • The Economics of Green Homes and Green Home Building. Green has to be affordable, and offer real value.

 

    • The Latest in Appraising and Lending on Green Buildings. This program will provide an update on FHA, VA and conventional financing as well as the state of green appraising, along with the latest on a truly green mortgage.

 

  • Green Renovation & Addition. A start-to-finish case study of an extensive renovation and addition project that turned a 15-year-old, 1,800-square-foot, inefficient home into an award-winning green project.

5th Annual Green Home Tour - Triangle Green Home Builders

 

Interested in seeing what a green home can be, inside and out?  There will be thirty homes available for touring during this year's Triangle Green Home Tour. 

 

Stanton Homes will feature a "Bronze Level" green home under construction in North Raleigh, as well as a "Silver Level" home in Horizon in Chatham County

Both homes are in progress for GHBT Green Home Certification, and will be third party certified.

Nevin - the information sessions at the Green Home Tour and conference will be very interesting, and it's great to be able to actually walk through green built homes and talk to the builders who decided to take these extra steps.
