Description

Join us for a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the first LEED Silver Certified Home in Blacksburg, Virginia!  LEED for Homes is a green home certification program that rewards homes that are designed and built to be energy- and resource-efficient and more healthy and durable for the occupants. For the homebuyer, LEED is like the nutrition label on the side of a cereal box; it clearly labels in measurable terms that the home has healthy, green, efficient features that have been third-party verified.

The home was built by Green Valley Builders, who are known for their expertise in building LEED, ENERGY STAR, EarthCraft Virginia and EPA Indoor airPLUS homes. Please, contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it k to RSVP.
