Heavenly Opportunities for a Green Ski Home
October 23rd, 2007 by bruce_richmond
It’s good to see more developers recognizing that greener properties provide healthier living environments, and tend to enjoy a larger increase in value. The Chateau at Heavenly Village is aiming for LEED silver status. This may be difficult, given the already stringent guidelines for South Lake Tahoe development.
The luxury vacation homes are in the form of a six-story condo-hotel, close to the beach, mountain, and casinos. It’s at the California / Nevada border.
So what are some of the environmental upgrades? The developers say that the project
- Uses Best Management Practices (BMP) for water quality with on-site storm water treatment
- Reduces land coverage by more than 63,000 sq. ft.
- Encourages pedestrian traffic and reduces automobile dependency
- Energy conservation through LEEDs technology
- Improved air quality
