Introducing... The Stanley Residence!
The Stanley Residence is a LEED® for Homes Registered Project
LEED® for Homes is a rating system that promotes the design and construction of high-performance green homes. Green homes use less energy, water and natural resources, create less waste, and are more durable and comfortable for occupants.
The Stanley project takes advantage of a wide range of energy saving design techniques and new technology including passive cooling coupled with a high-efficiency mechanical system, structured plumbing utilizing rainwater harvesting, and alternative energy options.
Some of the techniques considered for the Stanley Residence to achieve these goals include:
· Green Building Design Technology
· Site Design Efficiency
· Rainwater Harvesting
