CONGRATULATIONS TO COMMUNITY PARTNERS, INC. OF BIDDEFORD MAINE
RECIPIENTS OF THE BRIGHTBUILT RETROFIT AWARD
BrightBuilt is an open source collaborative of green building professionals designing sustainable solutions for the 21st Century. The first project, BrightBuilt Barn, is an internationally acclaimed, triple net-zero, LEED Platinum Certified home in Rockport, Maine. Built in 2008, the Barn is one of the only buildings in the world designed to be truly carbon neutral. The second initiative, BrightBuilt Retrofit, tackles the challenges of existing inefficient buildings by demonstrating innovative, practical and affordable approaches to deep energy retrofits in colder climates. All BrightBuilt initiatives are open source, and we invite you to follow the progress and join in the discussion.
BrightBuilt Barn has won the 2009 LEED for Homes Innovative Project award from the US Green Building Council.
"BrightBuilt Barn is a true example of outstanding leadership in sustainable construction that sets a great example for builders and project teams throughout the country." - Tom Flanagan, USGBC
"There is so much to love about the BrightBuilt Barn..
It is a model of how we can build houses that don't need furnaces, that don't look like walk-in coolers, and how we can build to last."
- treehugger.com, 2009
