Remodel. We are beginning a remodel on a modern style 1980\'s house. we will be raising the house to meet current codes. (flood plain elevations), adding ICFs (insulated concrete forms) at the base level, and insulating the entire exterior of the upper levels with SIPs (structurally insulated panels). we will be changing the windows to more energy efficient ones, adding energy efficient appliances, 'all-green' materials, bamboo flooring, etc. Costs allowing, we are planning to add solar panels and a green roof deck.
Estimated Cost: $200,000 +/-
Start Date: March / April 2008
End Date: December 2008?
Certification: Florida Green Building Coalition (we would like for this project to be LEED, but costs may prohibit us from obtaining the certification. We will, at a minimum be seeking Florida's Green Building Coalition certification.)
