June Tour: Visit a LEED Silver Home in Bloomingdale, IL
Curious to see the first single-family home in Illinois to earn LEED certification? A special tour of this LEED Silver home is set for Saturday, June 26, and spots are limited.
The Peluso Residence, 277 Pheasant, Bloomingdale, was designed and built as an efficient and modern green home by Alphonso and Michelle Peluso, co-founders of Vertex Architects, LLC, and owners of the home.
Construction came in at $115 per square foot — less than half the typical cost of a new-construction home.
Thanks to in-floor radiant heating supplied by two tankless water heaters, the home uses 20 percent less natural gas than the average home. A 1,700-gallon underground tank captures rooftop water for yard watering, and the insulation combines spray cell foam with recycled newspaper.
At 3,200 square feet, the home includes 4 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, and Energy Star appliances and lighting throughout.
