Contra Costa County’s First LEED Certified Homes are Located in Danville

Here is something great to pass along to your environmentally conscious friends who are in the market for a luxury home.  Hansen Lane Estates, built by Clarum Homes, is the first housing subdivision in Contra Costa County to be recognized as LEED certified.

Most of you are probably asking what makes something LEED certified.  LEED certified, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design is a strict set of standards used in the construction and operation of high performance green buildings. The U.S. Green Building Council recognizes performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.

Danville’s Hansen Lane Estates subdivision incorporates all those key areas.  Not only is Hansen Lane Estates a zero-energy community, but more specifically, some of the eco-friendly features in the homes are solar power, solar hot water heaters, special heating and cooling systems and web-based irrigation controllers. 

I should tell you that these homes do not come cheap.  The subdivision boasts ten luxury homes in the $2 million range.  One perk of note, however is that on the website it reveals the homes come with a Prius!  The model is open Thursday-Sunday, 11-5PM at 20 Rhett Place, Danville.
