Washington, D.C.—Hanley Wood, in partnership with world-renowned builder Tedd Benson and Unity Homes among others, will unveil the 2015 Greenbuild Unity Home Nov. 18 at the 2015 Greenbuild International Conference & Expo here.
The 2015 Greenbuild Unity Home has been planned, designed, constructed, inspected and tested according to LEED for Homes version 4 program requirements and is anticipated to achieve Platinum Certification when moved to its permanent site in New Hampshire after Greenbuild.
The 1,620 square-foot home features a modern, light-filled open-plan aesthetic and is one of four customizable platforms being made available for sale to the public by Unity Homes. Also known as the Zum home, its plans originated in part from a collaboration with MIT’s Open Source Building Alliance, which focused on providing cost-effective energy efficiency and extending the flexibility and useful lifespan of buildings.
