Welcome to Alabama Greenhouse, where we’ll be chronicling the construction of the 2008 EnergyKey Demonstration Home and what we hope will be the state’s first LEED-certified private residence. Located just outside Montgomery in a growing Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) called The Waters, the home is a collaborative effort between the developer, the builder Parker Bros. Construction, and the Home Builders Association of Alabama.
In the coming months, we’ll bring you all kinds of news, photos and video to introduce you to the ideas and challenges associated with green building — the materials and products, the construction methods and, perhaps most importantly, the results.
For now, though, let’s start with a rendering of the home itself. This is the dream. Let’s get started.
