Press Release for our latest project

November 10, 2010

Wallingford Home Remodel Meets Architecture 2030 Challenge,
The first single-family home permitted under a pilot version
for the City of Seattle’s new Priority Green expedited
permitting program, is scheduled for completion this month.
The second story addition and gut remodel project achieved 60%
overall energy reduction while adding heated space to the home.

Green highlights include: FSC certified wood, four green roofs,
rain gardens, solar PV, solar water pre-heat and one of the
largest residential living walls in the region. The project
is also achieving extremely high recycling rates and building
deconstruction. One bathroom features cabinets constructed
from salvaged beams in the basement.

Batt + Lear worked with an integrated design team made up
of home performance energy consultants, mechanical engineers,
solar technologists and deep green designers.

Batt and Lear is a multi disciplinary design build firm
focused on residential and light commercial construction.
Batt and Lear is an integral Built Green member supporting
private and public partnerships to demonstrate the newest
technologies available in the remodel arena. “Batt and Lear
has found ways to innovate with this existing 90-year-old
structure to achieve Built Green 5-Star certification.
From re-building half of the existing roof as a green roof,
to constructing case work from reclaimed materials this is
a key project for the new Built Green remodel standards and
for the region ” says Aaron Adelstein, Executive Director of
Built Green.

The project is expected to achieve very high point levels
in the Built Green 5-Star standard and will be a case study
for Priority Green.
