The My Green Kentucky Home project, by UberGreen Spaces & Homes, is a 21st century home designed and built to be one of Kentucky's healthiest, energy-efficient, water-efficient, durable homes that addresses today's homeowners needs with the future in mind. The internationally recognized US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for Homes program was followed, third-party verified and tested to achieve the highest certification level of Platinum. This home meets the American Institute of Architects Vision 2020 and 2030 Challenge goals by years 2020 and 2030 to be Net-Zero Energy use which will save the homeowners over $40,000.00 in utility bills in just the first 10 years. The home was also designed and built for Net-Zero Water use through rainwater harvesting where it collects and stores enough to satisfy all it's occupants needs.

Why build a sustainable, LEED-certified home?
Our May 2013 energy bill from last month for our 3,725 sf home! Only $27.19 for
gas and electric which would be $0 but we still have to pay for the
basic connection charges. How much money can you save in just one year if your energy bill was only $27.19?
