Two Show Homes Go Green, and Luxe
With Earth Day Tuesday, and Arbor Day Friday, it was appropriate to post the audio files describing the kitchen and master bath of The (25th Annual) New American Home because it was the first show home to be certified by the National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB) new Green Building Program, launched on Green Day during the 2008 International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Orlando, FL.The New Southern Home, which was also on display during the IBS, was built with plenty of eco-friendly building and design techniques and products, as well, so it’s also appropriate to post the audio files describing the kitchen and laundry room.Both homes featured Timberlake Cabinetry, which has also received certification by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association’s (KCMA) Environmental Stewardship Program on its entire line of products.Now, some hard-line environmentalists wonder how such large homes can be eco-friendly, while many other industry experts maintain that a home does not have to be small and austere to be green and efficient. It can be large and luxurious and still be environmentally friendly. Christine Todd Whitman even said that during her keynote speech during the 2008 Kitchen/Bath Industry Show & Conference in Chicago, IL.
Take a listen and a look, be sure to read a more in-depth look at The New American Home in the 5/08 issue of Kitchen & Bath Design News, and let us know what you think of the homes, and whether or not you think they can be green and luxurious.
