| The Built Green Home and Suncadia |
The Built Green Home at Suncadia is a unique
project. It is located in the premier four-season resort community
of Suncadia. It is a building site where the ideals of the surrounding
natural setting are in line with the green building ethic, where
homes are designed to be comfortable, durable, environmentally-friendly
and cost-effective to own and operate.
The Built Green Home at Suncadia will follow the parameters
of the Built Green program operated by Master Builders Association
of King and Snohomish Counties in cooperation with government
agencies and builders.
The ideals of the Built Green Program are consistent with those
presented by Suncadia, and will serve as the parameters of The
Built Green Home at Suncadia.

| The Green Building Elements |
The green building components of The Built Green
Home include:
|
Site Development: Limited site disturbance, on-site infiltration,
use of pervious pavers and drought-tolerant native vegetation.
Trees removed from the site will be milled and used for wood
construction components in the home.
Energy: Geothermal ground source
heating, radiant floor heating, energy star appliances
and light fixtures and higher insulation values.
Health and Air Quality: Use of
environmentally friendly building materials, paints, caulking,
sealants, and insulation. Interior surfaces which are easy to
clean and maintain. State of the art indoor air filtration and
cleaning.
Construction Efficiencies: Management
of construction waste for recycling. Use of insulated concrete forms and metal roofing to cut
down on the amount of raw lumber used in the home and to speed
the construction process; use of pre-finished shingles, flooring
and woodwork to speed the process and reduce the amount of toxic
chemical release into the home.
Surface Materials: Use of innovative,
durable, and recycled content or recyclable materials where
available. Showcasing some of the finest finish materials available
which are both “built green” and very desirable
to the discriminating homeowner.
Other: Finished built-in accessory
apartment.
Suncadia is a Built Green 6,000-plus acre four-star four-season resort located
80 miles from Seattle near Roslyn; an easy drive along the Mountains
to Sound Greenway on I-90. Suncadia resort is owned and operated
by Suncadia LLC, a company jointly owned by subsidiaries of
JELD-WEN Inc. and Lowe Enterprises, Inc. JELD-WEN is a world
leader in the manufacture of windows and doors and Lowe Enterprises
is a leading national real estate firm which has developed,
acquired or managed more than $6 billion in real estate assets.
Suncadia offers two resort golf courses, Prospector designed
by Arnold Palmer Development Company, and Rope Rider, which
is under construction and is being designed by Jacobson-Hardy
Design Group. An additional private course designed by Tom Doak
through his design company, Renaissance Golf is also underway
in the exclusive Suncadia neighborhood of Tumble Creek. The
heart of Suncadia will be its village with small one-of-a-kind
shops, restaurants and resident services, all anchored by the
grand Suncadia Lodge overlooking the beautiful Cle Elum River.
The lodge is planned to include guest rooms and a restaurant
and will offer services through the adjacent spa and conference
facilities. Suncadia will be a fantastic location for displaying
the benefits of green building, with its natural setting and
multitude of outdoor opportunities for all.
Ultimately, Suncadia will contain a collection of distinct
and inspired neighborhoods. Each of these neighborhoods will
be reflective of its unique setting and the open spaces will
be protected by the Suncadia Conservancy. In conjunction with
the Suncadia Foundation, the Suncadia Conservancy protects,
into perpetuity, the precious Cle Elum River corridor so that
this land will remain natural and open for generations to
come. The Suncadia Conservancy is a coalition of Yakama First
Nations, the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife
and Suncadia.
