Program:
Join us for a Green Home Tour in Manayunk this fall and learn more about what goes in to a “Green” home as well as see sustainable building materials and practices put into action. Our tour will begin with Grape Court, a new construction home integrating energy efficient construction techniques with luxury design. Some of the sustainable features include locally reclaimed lumber and masonry, dual flush toilets, tankless hot water heater, high efficiency dual zoned HVAC system and a courtyard designed to minimize storm water runoff and maximize green space.

Our next stop will be the luxury new green home community, Sheldon Crossing, who has been recognized by the USGBC and will earn a LEED Platinum certification because of their state of the art construction practices and exceptional building materials. These high performance homes will use less energy, water, and natural resources while offering a healthy environment with improved air, acoustic, and water quality. This revolutionary, eco-friendly development is the first of its kind in the area and includes such features as vegetative green roofs, geothermal heat and solar energy.

Our tour will conclude with light snacks and refreshments at Re:Vision Architecture.


Cost: $20 Members, $25 Non-members, $10 Students/Professionals in Transition
