Building Green Homes in Collin County, Texas

By Michael Como | September 19, 2011 |

Congratulations!

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.

  4. Renee on October 19, 2021 at 5:00 am

    Hello colleagues, good post and fastidious arguments commented at
    this place, I am truly enjoying by these.



  5. Esperanza on October 19, 2021 at 5:09 am

    I do agree with all of the concepts you’ve introduced on your post.
    They’re really convincing and can certainly work. Still,
    the posts are too brief for novices. Could you please extend them a bit from next time?
    Thanks for the post.



  6. Celina on October 19, 2021 at 5:10 am

    What’s up, this weekend is fastidious for me, for the reason that this occasion i am reading
    this impressive informative article here at my home.



  7. Jonna on October 19, 2021 at 5:41 am

    It’s fantastic that you are getting thoughts from this paragraph
    as well as from our argument made at this place.



  8. Danae on October 19, 2021 at 5:46 am

    Your mode of telling everything in this paragraph is in fact fastidious, all can effortlessly be
    aware of it, Thanks a lot.



  9. Louella on October 19, 2021 at 6:48 am

    Awesome blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?

    A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really
    make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your theme.
    Many thanks



  10. Frankie on October 19, 2021 at 6:52 am

    This is a topic which is near to my heart… Many thanks!
    Where are your contact details though?



  11. Manuel on October 19, 2021 at 6:57 am

    When someone writes an paragraph he/she maintains the thought
    of a user in his/her brain that how a user can be aware of it.
    Thus that’s why this article is outstdanding. Thanks!



  12. Wendell on October 19, 2021 at 7:16 am

    Hello mates, fastidious piece of writing and pleasant
    urging commented at this place, I am actually enjoying by
    these.



  13. Penney on October 19, 2021 at 7:20 am

    I have been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours as of late,
    but I never found any attention-grabbing article like yours.

    It’s pretty value enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers
    made just right content material as you probably did, the
    web might be much more useful than ever before.



  14. Christa on October 19, 2021 at 7:22 am

    It’s going to be end of mine day, but before end I am reading this fantastic article to improve my knowledge.



  15. Dorothy on October 19, 2021 at 7:30 am

    Hi mates, how is the whole thing, and what you desire to say concerning this piece of writing, in my view its in fact remarkable
    in support of me.

    writers such as you who aren’t afraid to say how they believe.
