Abode was pleased to host a visit by 4 Seniors of the Holderness School as part of their 10 day Immersion program, learning about our Green building philosophy and the LEED Platinum certification our model home possesses.
New construction to LEED standards currently happening at Holderness, will give students the opportunity to make educated suggestions towards that process.
Points of interest touched upon were Led & cfl lighting, use of no -VOC paint, specifically designated area's for recycling, the use of products with recycled content (from shingles to carpet) as well as appliances that conserve water (dual flush commodes, low flow shower heads)and mechanical systems with high efficiency (tankless hot water on demand and heat recovery ventilation).
Plymouth State University senior intern Chris Cook, was also on hand to discuss his experiences when working with PSU's Eco-House transformation.
