| Introduction | The Eco-Homes will serve as “living laboratories” featuring a variety of building techniques, prices, sizes, energy efficiency features, and green living products and services. Each home will be unique, and each will be available both as an informational center and as eco-lodging where people can experience green living first-hand in homes that interest them. The Eco-Homes will also be scientifically monitored to demonstrate how each type of construction technology performs under real world conditions, and to determine actual energy savings. This will be the first such project in the nation, and will be a key element in developing eco-tourism, a vital part of Greensburg’s successful comeback from the tornado’s devastation. Not only will local residents be able to learn about sustainable ways to build their own homes, but the homes will serve as a source of revenue for the community and GreenTown. Furthermore, by partnering with local builders during the construction process, we hope to provide for better green residential home building opportunities in the future. |
