We just got back from Greenbuild in Chicago and are a little more tired than expected. That is probably because we had to lug this sweet piece of hardware back with us . . .
That’s right, the 100k Project actually won the USGBC’s national award for LEED for Homes Project of the Year. We are very grateful for this recognition and hope to make it the first of many. We also hope to parlay this win into an actual speaking engagement at Greenbuild next year.
We are thankful (a fitting emotion this time of year) for everyone who worked on this project. We would particularly like to thank ISA for their architectural expertise and complete buy in to our crazy ideas and Magrann Associates for getting us through the LEED process and making sure we did what we needed to do for that Platinum rating. We also want to thank all of you out there following along, commenting, suggesting, critiquing, encouraging and just generally making us feel like this project was worth doing.
We will post more info on this award as it comes out, but for now, you can see the profile that was posted at Greenbuild in PDF form if you are interested. Thanks again and stay tuned. This is still just the beginning.

Congratulations! Well deserved! You are helping to transform Philadelphia and other urban communities with your vision turned to reality!
Am interested in this for new structures in a 120 yr old neighborhood that is rehabbing itself here in Springfield IL.
Thanks for your design, development, and construction dedication to more sustainable building solutions. One question, what is the air-exchange system and air-exchange rating? Sorry if that information is somewhere I haven’t found. Thanks again, Cheers, Dave
Congrats!
I bet it is amazing to look back to when the 100k house was just an idea on a napkin, compared to now!
I agree with Todd. It’s amazing to think about how ideas on the backs of napkins can grow into full-scale projects.
Congratulations!
