recent B+L was featured in Built Green Case Studies   B+L was one of the featured homes for NW EcoBuilding Guild's Green Home Tour   archives 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.
