Biscayne Park’s Only LEED Platinum Certified Home is Ultra Energy Efficient
MIAMI, FL (January 20, 2017) – A smart, sustainable, platinum LEED-certified home has just hit the market in Biscayne Park for $745,000. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home spans 1,700-square-feet of living space. Melanie Dawn Molina Wood and Randy Moreland of Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate have the listing at 11816 NE 6th Avenue.
“The market for heathy, sustainable living is growing substantially, particularly in Miami-Dade,” said Wood. “As the trend grows, we’re seeing the prices for green homes become more and more affordable.”
Over 100 homes across Miami-Dade boast a LEED certification, however, only four in the entire county have earned the high marks of a Platinum level ranking. Wood predicts that as education and awareness of the capabilities of green homes spreads across the county, more home buyers will look for the trend in their next home.
The Biscayne Park home runs at a Home Energy Rating System of -4 on a scale of zero to 150. The low rating means that on average, the home provides more energy back to the grid than it consumes. Most months, depending on energy consumption, there is no energy bill for the home.
Energy-efficient adaptations include:
- Edible garden
- Living wall in the kitchen
- Insulating concrete form system for reinforced concrete construction. Energy efficient and resistant to hurricanes up to 200 miles per hour. System improves indoor air quality, provides sound absorption and fire protection
- 4,000-gallon rain water cisterns for irrigation
- Solar panels with backup battery storage
- Impact-resistant windows
