100K House From Postgreen Wins LEED Project of the Year : TreeHugger

Our Goal: Build a LEED home for less than $100 per square foot in hard construction costs (labor and materials).

Strategy: Wherever possible we reduced complexity and finish level until we had a very clean, modern, simple home. Then we focused on those areas of green building where we saw the most value . . . location, site and energy efficiency.

Result: An 1,150 SF LEED Platinum home built for just under $100 per SF. So far this home has exceeded expectations in energy use and occupant comfort.
