The 100K house is a really great project and we are looking forward to seeing it come to fruition. We are a green design and development company are currently building our first residential project in South Philly. Like the 100K, it’s also registered for LEED Platinum.

Thanks!

I’m very into the build and live green concept and I happen to be a conservative politically. I am interested to see how the left side of the aisle grapples with building green at under 100k and the union building industry. I’ve built for $80 sq/ft, non union. I don’t see how I could get under $160-$170 if I build union. If you have 3 union carpenters on a site you have to pay 1 shop steward $32/hr just to watch them work.

Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia is building a row of seven LEED houses that cost around 100K (slightly over due to delays, etc) using insulated concrete forms.
It is possible to rehab old houses to LEED standards, but a lot of LEED points come from location, proximity to public transportation, grocery stores, etc, so sites need to be chosen carefully to maximize LEED score. Other than that, spray foam is your best friend.
