Are you interested in Eco-Friendly Development ? One Asheville area eco-community may have some
answers for you. Creating an eco-friendly development starts with planning how the site on acreage comes together and will unfold.
There are questions that come up before one home is built that beg to be answered:
How will this development work with natural resources by preserving topsoil and trees and reducing storm water runoff?
How energy efficient building and an increased use of alternative energy sources lead to sustainable development?
What is the plan for using green building materials?
And is there a plan for educating homeowners and building professionals on the features and benefits of deep-green construction?
When just yesterday I visited Hickory Nut Forest Eco-Community near Asheville where 225+ AC surrounded by 800+ acres of conservation partners' land and how to carve out a net zero energy community on a small portion possibly these were questions under consideration by this group of thoughtful land owners.
