LINKS Green House
With the tradition from the Reynolds family of being committed to preserving the land, Reynolds Plantation is a logical choice for the first-ever LINKS Green Home being built by Linger Longer Homes. Linger Longer Homes is well versed in green building practices, as the homes constructed by Linger Longer have historically approached or exceeded national green building standards.
"For the LINKS Green House, we'll be building to EarthCraft green building standards," says Linger Longer Homes vice president, Tom Allhoff. "EarthCraft has an important understanding of the region's building resources and environmental needs."
An additional benefit of the EarthCraft program is its ease of implementation. The program rewards consistency with environmental standards and the use of programs that can be broadly adopted ? a key function of any program that seeks to have broad impact on the environment.
A big part of Linger Longer's program is the role of partners. From the architect (Michael Hug, who also designed the ultra-luxury Creek Cottages at Reynolds Plantation) to the vendors and subcontractors, consistency with the high environmental standards of Linger Longer Homes is crucial to gaining EarthCraft certification. In the LINKS Green House, Georgia Power has a significant role.
