Ten more LEED Platinum homes on the way!
First LEED Platinum home in Newport Beach, CA!
The United States Green Building Council (USGBC) recently certified the LivingHome, Newport Beach, LEED for Home Platinum. The LivingHome is a KTLH 1.5, designed by KieranTimberlake. LEED (short for Leadership for Environmental and Energy Design) is a green building certification program, developed by the USGBC, where buildings are awarded specific points for solutions that make the buildings more energy, water, and resource efficient and that reduce indoor air pollution. Based on those points, buildings can be awarded Certified, Silver, Gold or Platinum. Platinum, the highest level, is extremely difficult to attain and only a handful of homes in California have achieved it. The first LivingHome – in Santa Monica – was the first ever to be certified LEED Platinum and we have ten other LivingHomes in production that we believe should hit Platinum, too. More important than LEED levels are what they represent: a home that uses far less resources and is much healthier than standard homes, and an objective, third party review of the design and performance of that home. Our clients dig this and we do too. To learn more about the KTLH 1.5, click here. For more information about our environmental program and LEED, click here.
