GREEN HOMES, GREEN REALTORS® AND GREEN CARS: A NEW PARTNERSHIP TO HELP CONSUMERS REDUCE THEIR CARBON FOOTPRINT

WEST SPRINGFIELD, MA — The trend is “going green.”

Vintage Green Homes are custom homes that create a healthy living environment by incorporating a blend of cutting edge green technology and reclaimed vintage materials as seen in the September 2009 edition of Preview Massachusetts magazine.

Vintage Green integrates sustainable, environmentally responsible, low-cost energy technology, and 100% recyclable siding into beautifully crafted custom homes. Using direct exchange geothermal heating, cooling, and hot water systems, homes can be heated or cooled for under $3 a day. Super-insulated walls and ceilings provide a tight energy-saving envelope which also adds to the efficiency of the homes. Green building materials create clean healthy indoor air quality, and sustainable landscape design and outdoor water efficiency make these homes appealing to the consumer looking to reduce their carbon footprint. Through the reclamation and reuse of vintage materials made available through responsible deconstruction of retired local mills and factories, Vintage Green Homes marry old-world charm with modern-day green design and technology.

Vintage Green Homes are currently being constructed on four wooded 6-20 acre lots in Leverett, Massachusetts and are available for sale. Leverett is conveniently located minutes from downtown Amherst and the University of Massachusetts.

In cooperation with Fathers & Sons Volkswagen in West Springfield, homes are being offered with a new clean burning, low emissions Volkswagen Jetta TDI®, Green Car Journal’s 2009 “Green Car of the Year” in the garage. The Jetta TDI® Clean Diesel runs on a ultra-low sulfur diesel engine that has 97% less sulfur content, radically reducing emissions. High-torque, high-mileage, fuel efficient TDI Clean Diesel engines use a "common rail" direct injection system to decrease over 95% of all sooty emissions.
