Design Within Reach presents...
LivingHomes Sustainability Tour
Wednesday, July 13 from 6-8:00pm
Design Within Reach | 3138 Magazine Street
Summary
As the developer of the nation's first LEED Platinum home—the first Ray Kappe LivingHome—and with over nine LivingHomes in development that are designed to achieve LEED Platinum, LivingHomes is one of the more experienced builders of environmentally conscious homes. Although LivingHomes uses the LEED program for external review and validation, LivingHomes established its own Z6 sustainable building goals, which serve as development goals for each LivingHome, insuring that they have as close as possible to zero negative impact on health and environment. The Z6 goals are Zero Water, Zero Energy, Zero Waste, Zero Emissions, Zero Carbon, and Zero Ignorance.
LivingHomes CEO and Founder Steve Glenn will take his not-critically acclaimed talk to the Big Easy. Glenn will speak about "High Design, Low Impact: Building LivingHomes," at the Design Within Reach studio in New Orleans, LA. You will learn about materials, finishes, fixtures and systems that radically reduce a building's energy, water, and resource use - and that reduce indoor air pollution.
