Just got home from a project in Flagstaff, AZ where I helped integrate a platinum level LEED home. My understanding is that it is only the fourth home in the world to reach this level and will be showcased on both Discovery channel and CNN. Unbelievable amount of detail. Fly ash in the concrete kitchen counters (30%). Crushed and tumbled recycled glass under the landscaping pave stones. Earthen finished walls. Solar radiant heat. Motorized windows for passive cooling. Solar and wind driven electric. Reclaimed water for domestic and irrigation use. UV treated septic (you can drink what comes out, ugh). HAI stats, security and UPB. Russound CAV66. Onsite Weatherhawk. Convergent Living tracking the water flow (usage) and level (storage). Lot's of fun to work on and gave me a great deal to think about it. The first photo is an actual photo from the job site. The second is a screen shot that shows a mock up of the level meters I "built" on my own home system. It's just there for clarity.
