In celebration of Earth Day tomorrow, April 22nd, we bring you five green homes. Some feature LEED-certification (the leader in green building certification); others include elements that are Passive House-certified, an emerging and rigorous standard for energy efficiency in a building. All prove that a home can reduce its carbon footprint without sacrificing style.
A two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath condo at 60 White Street in Tribeca (priced at $4.625 million) includes a living/dining room with three Zola Passive House triple-pane windows, reclaimed oak flooring, and original brick walls, not to mention a custom kitchen built form locally-sourced materials.
