montgomeryfarm.com TERRACourt Home sets a new standard for energy efficiency and green construction

Friends, in 2009 my chosen blog designer provided a game plan and a decent upfront fee. After expending AUD$, years go by so quickly, and a new blog designer disagrees thus I spent more AUD $ upfront in 2017.

Time rolls on and the blogs are judged wrong by the powerhouse. So be it, the story of my life! Simon says you must not piggyback an internet video.

As a result, today 30 October 2022 I declare the video is deleted or perhaps the video was deleted previously from this blog post. The information, however, is current and there are so many comments so I will not delete the post.

Regardless of the subject of the blog is liked. Type ‘ TERRACourt – First LEED Green Gold Certified Home in Collin County, Texas ‘  or a relevant Boolean term into ‘YouTube’ or your selected search engine to find the relevant information. Blog on and stay safe.

First LEED Green  Gold Certified Home

The award-winning Montgomery Farm conservation development now has the first LEED Gold-certified home in Collin County and one of the most energy-efficient homes in the nation. The newly completed TERRACourt Home has received the rare LEED Gold certification from the US Green Building Council as well as one of the best HERS ratings for energy efficiency ever awarded by Energy Star at 49 HERS Index on 5/05/2011.

Designed by the award-winning architect Graham Greene of Oglesby-Greene Architects and built by Sustainable Structures of Texas, the 6500-square-foot home received an almost unheard score of 49 on the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) performance testing. Based on a 100-point scale where a lower rating is more energy-efficient, a score of 85 is considered an Energy Star home. The 49 score puts TERRACourt Home among the top 1 per cent for energy-efficient homes in the USA.

Energy Efficient & Beautiful

“Not only have we built one of the nation’s most energy-efficient homes, but we also built a beautiful home and we did it without using any special technology or tricks,” said Lee Hall, president of Sustainable Structures who oversaw the construction of the house. “Most homes that come close to the energy efficiency ratings we achieved either use special technology, are built partially underground or use unusual materials,” continued Hall. “This is a house that anyone would want to call home.
