Will $100,000 Build A Good Green Home?

The 100K House Project

Postgreen and ZeroEnergy Design are going to be constructing an urban infill home for just 100K. The main goal of the house building project is that the home ends up using only 53% of the energy that's normally used by a standard new home, while still keeping costs at a smaller level. Another goal of the project is to achieve a LEED Platinum rating. The home is being built in Philadelphia where costs to build any home are considerably more than 100K.

The 100k house is going to be a great case study in proving that a well-made green home can be built for about the same as a traditionally built home - or possibly even cheaper than a typical home.

According to the press release, Chad Ludeman, President of Postgreen, notes, "In order to accomplish the lofty energy goals for the home on our budget, more time and care must be taken during the planning and design phase of every aspect of the home from insulation to HVAC equipment... ZeroEnergy Design is the perfect company to ensure that we will get the most bang for our buck in terms of energy efficiency on the 100K House and we are excited to have them be part of the project."

Aspects being concentrated on first include the best passive ways to save energy, because passive allows more bang for less money. Then the team looked at actual active energy systems, to analyze their efficiency, and lastly renewable energy systems were discussed. So far solar thermal is the top contender.

You can follow along with the entire process at 100k house, and so far it's an awesome read. Budgets, design ideas, and materials are all being posted about. I love this whole case study. When we built our home it was under 100K but in an area easy to build fairly inexpensively. This project will show that green can be built anywhere for less than some think. It should be fun to follow along.

. Panerai has been a consistent leader Replica Omega in the world of professional timing instruments for more than 140 years.

Indeed. when Guido Panerai founded his company in Florence in 1860. it was with the commitment to build professional timekeepers more so than pocket watches.

His early work led to many patents in the timekeeping and optics fields. In the early 1930s. Panerai Panerai Replica Watches established a close relationship with the Royal Italian Navy and began supplying the soldiers with precision pocket watches and aiming sights for torpedoes.

During World War II Replica Rolex. Panerai supplied Radiomir watches to the Royal Italian Navy - firmly establishing itself as a leader in precision timing. In 1993. after 50 years of creating watches exclusively Cheap Panerai Watches for the commandos of the Royal Italian Navy. Panerai offered its timepieces to the world at large with limited editions of the Luminor.

The precision watches were recognized for their performances under extreme situations and were eagerly sought by collectors. In 1997. the Richemont Group purchased Panerai and evolved the brand. adding new products upholding Panerai's tradition and increasing its worldwide presence.

Panerai's successful oversized timepieces are based on Everton Shirt the Luminor and Radiomir. and each exists in the three key Panerai collections: Historical. Contemporary and Special Editions.

In the Historical Collection. Panerai has unveiled the Luminor 44mm watch with its own new hand-wound mechanical movement. Guaranteed water resistant to 300 meters replica soccer jersey but tested to 400 meters. this exceptional watch is cased in either steel or titanium and has a transparent caseback to allow viewing of the engraved movement.

Fitted with an automatic mechanical GMT/Alarm movement Replica Omega. the watch is now available in polished stainless steel. Replica Glashutte

Also new to replica wristwatch the Contemporary Collection Maurice Lacroix Watch Replica is the Luminor Power Reserve watch. Available in two sizes in titanium or steel. this watch offers a power reserve of 42 hours. It Fake Blancpain Watch houses Boca Juniors uniform the exclusive OP1X caliber movement from Cheap Gucci Fake Watch Panerai with 21 Official Miami Heat Jersey jewels. and is COSC certified.

Another new model is the Luminor Marina Gold watch - created in 18-karat gold with a slight pink tinge—the first PSV Eindhoven Shirt Panerai Luminor to have a gold case. Formed from a single block of precious metal. the case is 44mm in diameter. is COSC certified and is produced in a limited edition of justFake Watches 150 pieces.

In its Special Editions Collection. Girard Perregaux Watches Replica Panerai has added the Luminor soccer jersey wholesale Marina Replica Corum Watches 1950 watch-a magnificent 47mm timepiece that pays tribute to the first of its type unveiled in 1950. Perfectly legible under Panerai Watch water. the watch conforms to its earlier Fake Watches counterpart with Roger Dubuis Replica Watch a dial consisting of two superimposed layers and a bridge device that is protected by trademarks.

. a company made up of proficient engineers. is an innovator in the aviator watch field and has a very long and highly publicized Ireland Jersey association Fake Watches with the sky. Yet. the brand has also had a long and productive relationship with water Replica Cartier. which is probably less known.

Since the early 1960s. the company Bedat & Co Fake Watches has been Fake Christian Dior Watches producing its first diver's chronographs. known as the Aquatimers. Among them is the "Ocean". an anti-magnetic timepiece made of titanium. water-resistant up Argentinian Shirt to 2.000 meters. which was designed for the West German navy by the designer Ferdinand Porsche (best known for Replica Rolex designing the original Volkswagen Beetle and for his Replica watches contributions to advanced replica wristwatch German tank designs: Tiger I. Tiger II and the Elefant.). Replica Czech Jersey Another item in this collection is the 'Deep One' featuring a combined mechanical depth measure. and the Replica Parmigiani 'Aquatimer' from the GST family of timekeepers. with their rotating bezels. and double protection providing water-resistance up to 1243 miles.

Captivatingly. Replica Richard Mille the Minute Memory device is detached and independent of the Philip Stein Replica Watches chronograph. This absolutely unique additional function is a hand that measures minutes independently and can be switched off or on under the water Jaeger LeCoultre Watch Replica using a slide.

Designed in association with professional frogmen Replica Watches. this special diver's watch enables the wearer to measure a second period of time separately. which may be vital in calculating resurfacing time or decompression time. When the mechanism is turned on Replica Omega. the hidden minute Replica Watches Replica Concord hand stops while the other hand goes on. The intermediate time is hence shown by the Fake Cheap Rolex difference between Hamilton Replica these two hands. When turned off. the Minute Memory hand returns to its position under TAG Heuer Replica Watch the regular hand. This was a very complex system to develop. particularly because the Minute Memory device is independent and has its own mechanism for coming back to zero. Moreover. it is optimally positioned close to the movement while the hands do not depend on it.

Made by the best Japanese watchmakers. our tiptop replicas are all but impossible to distinguish from the real IWC watches that cost a lot of money.

| timada | Jul 28th, 2009

I think this is an amazing project. A year ago I had a Chicago insulation company help set up my house to be as energy efficient as possible and it really does work. I have saved hundreds on my heating bill. All new houses need to be designed like this one; so many houses are still being built just like they were 10 years ago instead of using intelligent designs like this!
