(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 12, 2013 ) San Francisco, CA -- An award-winning ecoMod greenhouse in the South Boston area is near to completion. The project is fully installed with energy-saving appliances as part of its final push before being finished.
The Southside Outreach Group is in charge of overseeing the project, and executive director Earl Howerton stated that the project was nearly three-fourths complete. The project will have two units that benefit from energy-efficient refrigerators, dishwashers, microwaves, and washers/dryers.
The project is a collaborative effort between Town of South Boston, University of Virginia, SIPS of Blairs, SVHEC and Cardinal Homes of Wylliesburg, was initiated by the town and Southside Outreach Group.
The fledgling two houses for the project are similar, but are not identical in their structure and functions. The first code house was built according to the Virginia statewide code, while the other is built by passive standard, classifications.
Energy use and the overall comfort of indoor facilities in the home will be monitored by the University of Virginia's research team dedicated to assessing the home's performance and quality.
The cost of the passive house is $105 per sq ft, while the control home is $70 per. Each figures within the affordable housing range for most areas within the country, according to the company.
The Southside Outreach Group, which owns both houses, is considered a non-profit that is charged with assisting low-to-moderate income individuals in the pursuit of obtaining safe and affordable housing options.
The ecoMod concept is said to fit into that mission perfectly, while the families are set to meet certain income requirements at 80% of the median costs within the given area.
The houses are set as rent-to-own. The Southside Outreach Group is currently undergoing the vetting for the initial two families that will live in the house.
