Naperville, IL Home Features Local Midwest Region Quarried Stone for LEED Platinum Certification.
The “Modern Farm House” Eco-Smart Home, which will open on Earth Day, April 22, 2016, is one of a series of distinctive custom homes demonstrating that sustainable, healthy, and efficient living is possible in homes that are aesthetically appealing and functional. The home will meet LEED Platinum level certification, ENERGY STAR certification, and EPA Indoor Air certification.
SEMCO’s Blue River Select Grey Stone supplied by Lafarge Fox River Decorative Stone will wrap the entire perimeter of the home, giving it a unique modern twist that complements the timeless Farm House style. The stone is a limestone composition with a natural gray color and variegation characteristics that is harvested from a stone quarry located in Sainte Genevieve, Missouri approximately 531 km (330 miles) from the new Eco-Smart Home’s site located at 628 Knoch Knolls Rd. Naperville, IL. By sourcing this stone from the same region it will allow this home to receive accredited points toward LEED Platinum certification.
The home utilizes many advanced green building techniques, practices, and products to achieve Net-Zero status, which the Department of Energy defines as a high performance home which is so energy efficient that a renewable energy system can offset all or most of its annual energy consumption. The latest video of the project filmed by The DJK Team illustrates many of the unique features that contribute to the Eco-Smart Homes energy efficiency and sustainability initiatives.
