CASA VERDE named "Green Business of the Year"

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 16, 2007 -- Casa Verde, LLC has redefined the idea of ground-breaking in Indianapolis. In fact, it has even adapted the term to "Ground Making" to illustrate the company's focus on Green Building. This is a felicitous turn of phrase because traditional groundbreakings, despite their appeal to civic boosterism, can impact our lands and waters in adverse and anti-social ways.

This summer, Casa Verde started construction on the city's first residences built to the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green building Certification System. The total energy use of the homes is calculated at less than half of that of a typically-constructed home of the same size.

The project is located at 2129 N. Park Avenue in the King Park neighborhood. Construction began in July at the 3-unit site. Please drop by to have a look, or call Casa Verde for additional information. 888-408-1118 xt 5.

We're proud to note that several good friends of HEC are principals in this venture, including Michael Sanders who serves on our Central Indiana Regional Council. Congratulations, Casa Verde!
