Our 2009 Parade Home was at 2918 111th Street in the Cooper Ridge subdivision in south Lubbock. It's a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, with an oversized 2 car garage and a large covered patio with a stainless steel built-in natural gas grill. It has 1905 square feet of living area with 2955 square feet under roof. The listed price was $210,000. The first year's average monthly heating and cooling costs are guaranteed to to be $59, or less. (based on standard operating conditions and current electric and gas rates) It is a certified Energy Star home with a HERS Index of 46. The HERS Index is a scoring system established by the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET). A home with a HERS Index of 46 is 54% more energy efficient than a home built to the specifications of the the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code. For a complete explanation of the HERS index see: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=bldrs_lenders_raters.nh_HERS
Features: This Energy Star home offers its owners both high performance and practical luxury. To enhance overall performance, the house was designed and built as a system. This systematic approach to building includes: spray foam insulation; efficient windows; control of air infiltration; energy efficient appliances and lighting; proper ventilation; and a carefully designed, sized, and installed heating and cooling system. Arranged around an open floor plan this exceptional home offers practical conveniences, and a welcoming environment. The layout of the kitchen, dining area, and living room lends a family oriented quality to the center of the home. Amenities not normally found in homes in this price range include: a pull down third row hanging rod in the master closet; a door-less walk-in shower; foam insulation; Energy StarTM lighting; oversized garage; and a high efficiency direct-vent gas fireplace. This is our second consecutive year for building ‘Green' in the Parade. This home was designed and constructed utilizing key elements of the National Home Builders Association's ‘Green Building Guidelines'. Green built homes are energy efficient, high performance homes that incorporate environmental considerations into the building process. Green building is a great defense against soaring energy costs and also offers improved indoor air quality and water efficiency. Drought tolerant landscaping follows West Texas SmartScape® guidelines.
