It has just been announced that Heather's Home scored a 90 under the LEED for Homes rating system, making it the first LEED certified home in Texas, and only the third Platinum home in America. LEED for Homes is a voluntary initiative designed to promote sustainable home building practices. The LEED for Homes Rating System is targeting the top 25% of homes with best practice environmental design and construction. The LEED for Homes rating system is being developed to provide national consistency in defining the features of a green home and to enable builders anywhere in the country to obtain a 'green' rating on their homes. The strength of the LEED for Homes program will be third-party verification that will include both on-site inspections and performance testing. www.usgbc.org
