Construction-in-Progress Featured on US Green Building Council Tour

On February 26th, a group of 23 people attended a US Green Building Council event at the Nagle-Dunn house for a tour and discussion about the many green aspects of the project. Led by the architect, Arcollab’s Lori Bork Newcomer, the contractor, David Hyde of Timerbilt Construction, and the Imery Ratings building science manager, Jeremy Fields, the tour provided an interesting and inspiring field trip opportunity for all who attended.

“We had a great turnout,” commented Hyde, who is also the current chair of USGBC-Athens. “The opportunity to share these practices with people in an active construction site makes the concept of green building come alive in a tangible way.”

“People asked good questions,” noted Bork. “It was great to be able to have the home owner with us to share their inspiration for wanting a certified home, and to have Jeremy talk about EarthCraft certification and his role in the project.”
