The homes at Hope Landing were the start of a new initiative to build more efficient low-income families homes. Working with our architect, Ugarte & Associates of Palmetto, and our energy rater, ECS of Sarasota, we designed a low cost home meeting three criteria: Energy Efficient, Sustainable, and Safe. Our homes have been certified Energy Star 3.0, a HERS rating of 52, Certified FGBC Green Home, USGBC LEED Gold, and LEED Platinum with a HERS rating of 20. Two of our homes have Solar PV Panels. Our homes received two Aurora Awards for outstanding energy efficiency.

Price: $110,000
