A 3,100 square foot house in the Village of Tivoli, New York, has been accepted by USGBC into its LEED for Homes ("LEED-H") Pilot Program. Lisa and George Fishler of Poughkeepsie have designed the house to have a "combination Japanese and prairie look." Green features include low VOC materials, recycled wood, and a passive solar design. The house is scheduled for a July 2007 occupancy. The LEED-H Pilot Program began back in August of 2005, and there are currently 26 homes that USGBC has certified. USGBC plans on launching LEED-H publicly sometime during the summer of 2007. On behalf of all of us at gbNYC and gbLA.com, we'd like to wish you and yours a very healthy, safe, and Happy New Year! See you on the other side!

It would be great to see
It would be great to see these homes and many other green projects on a website such asListed Green. Seems they support true "green" building technologies.
Hi Stephen - Our house is on
Hi Stephen - Our house is on the market. Due to a designer and builder incapable of listening, the house is turning into way more than we can afford and thus, it was listed for sale last week with Northern Dutchess RE. Since there are not many homes on the market that are environmentally friendly like Earthaven, I was hoping you might consider doing a write up on our house again. Please email me at princeli@earthavenonline.com if this is a possibility. Thanks so much,
Lisa
