"That's what gets people's attention," he says. "I firmly believe that in five years everything built will have to be green, whether LEED or some other standard. What will drive it? Whether demand by consumer or required by the government, some source will have to make it."<br /><br />This urban oasis of eight homes by Modus Development is the first community in Arizona to be LEED certified. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and is a national benchmark of standards for eco-friendly building.<br /><br />One of the most striking aspects is the exterior. The houses are covered in corrugated zinc that's suspended off the walls by an inch, which lets hot air flow behind it and continuously shades the building, Gorman says, adding, "Architects come from around the world to see it."<br /><br />The roof includes a reflective coating to keep it cool.<br /><br />The homes were built on a plot of land that used to include two-single family houses. With desert landscaping, controlled irrigation and other water-saving features, Gorman estimates the eight homes use less water than the two houses that were there before.<br /><br />Still the homes have to be appealing, so the builder included a wall of glass that treated to resist heat transfer. The homes include energy efficient Bosch appliances and are pre-wired for solar power. <em> [Note: to read the full article, <a href="http://www.azcentral.com/style/hfe/decor/articles/2009/04/04/20090404green1.html">click here</a>.]</em>AZBluehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13283311307499663782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238159530097566638.post-34035073809424707542009-02-05T09:15:00.010-07:002009-04-05T09:57:45.305-07:00GreenSource Magazine features Galleries at Turney on cover<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eWG2By4wHaw/SYsWijHcceI/AAAAAAAAAkY/89I2OUmhfDI/s1600-h/0901Cover.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299354169329349090" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 129px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 167px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eWG2By4wHaw/SYsWijHcceI/AAAAAAAAAkY/89I2OUmhfDI/s200/0901Cover.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div><div><em>[Source: GreenSource Magazine] -- </em>The Anti-Tract Houses: A developer blends the single-family home mentality of old Phoenix with the urban density of the row house to create a new southwestern sensibility.

Modus Development will provide grid-connected PV systems to take advantage of SRP EarthWise Solar Energy incentives. In addition, the new homebuyers can apply for state and federal tax credits. SRP EarthWise Solar Energy, a solar-incentive program that encourages SRP customers to invest in solar energy, paid for 40% of each homeowner’s system in the development.<br /><br />Each individual system can significantly reduce the homeowner’s electric bill by generating an estimated 28,800 kilowatt hours of electricity on an annual basis. That equates to offsetting almost 30,000 pounds of CO2 emissions in the first year of operation.

With energy efficient construction and appliances, recycled materials and a stylish design, Galleries has quickly become the standard for the 21st century for new homes that dispel the myth that a "green home" is unattractive or that luxury comes at the detriment to the environment around it. Galleries is neither and offers:<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Function. </span>Galleries provides flexible indoor and outdoor spaces for its residents to experience the a suburban feel in a recycled urban environment. The first floor opens to a large private courtyard, while second floor provides a spacious living room, kitchen and dining area with open access to a patio to view northern and southern views of the mountains and city. As one rises to the top of the home, the top-floor brings you to the private realm of the master bedroom suite containing windows to allow you sublime views of Camelback Mountain, Squaw Peak, and Phoenix skyline.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Energy Efficiency. </span>The design of Galleries incorporates environmentally friendly strategies and materials making the first town home project to achieve Phoenix’s “Advanced” Green Building Rating, the highest rating given by the City of Phoenix. The Green Building Program encourages a whole-systems approach through design and building techniques to minimize environmental impact and reduce the energy consumption of buildings while contributing to the health of its occupants. In addition, Galleries is LEED for Homes (LEED-H) certified. In order to achieve these designations, the buildings utilize passive heating/cooling techniques, numerous innovative and environmentally friendly materials, and efficient home designs that require significantly less energy than typical homes. The exterior finish materials are reusable and recyclable. Building materials included corrugated metal siding and fibrous concrete panels that act as a rain screen while creating a thermal barrier that eliminates heat transmission to the building while effectively shading the building from the heat of the desert sun.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Space</span><div><ul><li>2 bedrooms </li><li>Living room/lounge</li><li>Multi-purpose flex room (den/office/bedroom) </li><li>2 1/2 baths</li></ul><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Design</span></div><div><ul><li>Quartz zinc panels – front and sides</li><li>Cembonit cement panels - rear and sides </li><li>Exposed masonry walls – lower level </li><li>Limestone floors in main living area </li><li>Polished and sealed concrete floors on lower level </li><li>State-of-the-art kitchen</li><li>Italian cabinetry by Maistri la Cucina </li><li>CaesarStone® countertops </li><li>Kohler® fixtures </li><li>Large private balcony</li><li>Private backyard</li><li>12-foot high floor-to-ceiling windows and doors</li><li>Spectacular views</li></ul><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">State-of-the-art green construction</span></div><div><ul><li>LEED for Homes certified </li><li>Heat pump – 13 SEER rating</li><li>Bosch® Energy Star® appliances </li><li>Low-E windows</li><li>Low VOC panes</li><li>4-kilowatt photovoltaic (PV) solar panel system for "0" energy costs</li></ul></div>AZBluehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13283311307499663782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238159530097566638.post-44340604144489187112007-09-08T12:10:00.002-07:002008-11-01T19:13:54.346-07:00Galleries at Turney receives two AIA Arizona design awards<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eWG2By4wHaw/SQytbny1PpI/AAAAAAAAAbI/WXL6C1qVJwM/s1600-h/Galleries+at+dawn.jpg"><em><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263772754539527826" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 144px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eWG2By4wHaw/SQytbny1PpI/AAAAAAAAAbI/WXL6C1qVJwM/s200/Galleries+at+dawn.jpg" border="0" /></em></a><em>[Source: AIA Arizona]</em> -- The Galleries at Turney are the first development in Arizona to receive Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design on homes (LEED-H) certification and a 2007 winner of an AIA Merit Awards and AIA/Salt River Project Sustainable Award.
