Greening Up with the Jones’s

Posted on September 29, 2009 in Uncategorized

The DC area has something new to boast about. We’ve got the Real Housewives of DC filming here now, Cavalia likes us so much they have extended their show for a few extra weeks, and now…we’re opening the 1st carbon neutral house on the East Coast, right here in McLean!

The Green House, as it has been so aptly named, uses 70-80% less energy per square foot than a comparable new home. Geothermal heating and cooling, solar hot water systems, electricity gnerated on site, LED lighting, and rain-water capture are just some of the many ways this house helps its inhabitants to minimize their carbon footprint. Bet the neighbors can’t beat that!

You can check it out on October 14th when Charity Works Young Benefactors Soiree (Hosted by Philippe Cousteau, Sophie Pyle, Piper Gioai, Dabney Doswell and Mark Turner) takes it over for an evening of Red Hot Green and Gorgeousness. Tickets and info here.
