EmailSeattle developer builds modular green home
A green home made out of modular units is being built in Seattle, the Seattle Post Intelligencer reported.
The home, developed by GreenFab, is made of six modular units and will feature three bedrooms, 2 ¾ baths and a 700-square-foot rooftop deck. The team is aiming for LEED platinum and Built Green five-star certification. It will also have a 2.4-kilowatt solar photovoltaic system, which should cut electricity use by 23%. The overall goal is to have the home at net-zero energy, meaning it produces all the energy it consumes in a year.
Using modules reduces construction time and produces less waste. Once the modules are in place, the home is about 70% complete.
