Ready to go beyond carbon neutral?  Register now for the BGBG’s September 23rd Building On-Site Seminar at Jim Logan’s beyond-net-zero, carbon neutral “Logan Wiggins House 3.”

Logan Wiggins House 3 goes beyond net-zero in its bid to achieve LEED for Homes Platinum certification.

The home, designed by Jim Logan Architects and built by Hughes Construction, is pursuing LEED Platinum certification in the USGBC’s LEED for Homes Rating System.  With its super high performance energy features, it looks as though this project may end up being the highest scoring LEED Platinum project in the country to date. 

Populus Sustainable Design Consulting provided HERS energy modeling and rating services, as well as LEED for Homes Green Rater services on the project. 

This beyond-net-zero home utilizes an Earthlinked Technologies refrigerant-based ground-source heat pump with a forced-air delivery system.

Namaste Solar, also a Boulder-based company, provided the grid-tied PV System for the home, while Aircraft installed the Earthlinked Technologies ground source heat pump.  The home also incorporates Serious Materials’ (formerly Alpen) triple pane double Heat Mirror windows.

Interested in learning more about the green features of this beyond net-zero, carbon neutral home?  Join us for the BGBG’s Building On-Site Seminar or visit the home during the Center for ReSource Conservation’s Tour of Solar and Green Homes on Saturday, September 26th.
