Blue Spruce Hollow II: Architect David Hartke Moves Forward with his LEED Green Home

Blue Spruce Hollow II: Architect David Hartke Moves Forward with his LEED Green Home

Jun 10 2007

Blue Spruce Hollow, Episode II: Architect David Hartke shows Pierre his environmentally conscious new home, under construction in Doylestown Pennsylvania.

Since this was first filmed in Part I, David has sold the home to build another!

The home is a LEED-Certified or 'Green' dwelling with many energy and environmentally-friendly features. South-facing, the home gains much from solar orientation. Large sheltered porch living spaces will provide several 3-season rooms. The home uses little/no large timbers, relying instead on strong composite materials made from fast-growing woods.

A 1.5 KW photovoltaic electrical system provides much of the home's electrical needs.

A geothermal heating/cooling system is under construction.
