ArtHaus-2: Certified LEED Platinum

My friend and fellow fish riding, handplane loving, Leucadian Rich Williams sent over these photos of a project he did over the last few years. He has just received news that it achieved the U.S. Green Building Council's highest "Platinum" LEED certification.  It is the second "LEED for Homes" single family residence project to be certified in San Diego county, and the first to achieve certification in the City of Encinitas.  LEED stands for "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.   It is a internationally recognized and rigorous rating system that not only covers energy and water efficiency, but also indoor air quality, the durability of a home, the use of eco-friendly materials,  community connectivity,  awareness and education of the building's occupants, and construction waste management.  Not only shall the buyer of this home be assured that they live in a truly eco-friendly and healthy home, they can enjoy owning an architectural beauty as well as having stupendous ocean views from the second story.  Yes, you can also see how the good the surf is too! Love it.

Rich, well done my friend. If you want to see more of the house check out his site. www.arthaushome.com/
