Homeport is proud to debut our first L.E.E.D. (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) home at 258 North 21st street. The L.E.E.D home, which was constructed by Home B.A.S.E. Foundation with technical contributions by Columbus Green Building Forum, showcases the industry's best practices for energy efficiency and sustainable design. From advanced framing techniques and solar paneling to post-consumer recycled carpeting, local hardwood flooring and low VOC paint, this home demonstrates innovative strategies that will revolutionize both the affordable and market-rate housing industries in Central Ohio and will launch the NOBO "Green Series".
|
| In conjunction with Mayor Michael B. Coleman's "Get Green Columbus Initiative", The L.E.E.D. home is made possible by American Electric Power, NeighborWorks of America, Limited Brands, City of Columbus, The Home Depot Foundation and a host of socially motivated green companies, contractors and manufacturers who are taking a leading role to make North of Broad a green community. |
