LEED Certified home

WampWorx is in the process of building Mashpee’s first, and what will likely be only the second LEED certified energy efficient home on Cape Cod.

An acronym for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, a LEED certification is a mark of distinction in sustainable development administered by the U.S. Green Building Council in Washington D.C.

To prepare for this project Mark and Russ attended the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association’s Building Energy 06’ event held in Boston previewing the latest renewable energy technologies and construction practices that reduce negative environmental impacts.

This home will feature a 3.5 kw photovoltaic system to generate electricity, solar thermal hot water system, energy and resource saving appliances and fixtures, and materials specifically chosen to minimize the impact on the environment.
