"Green" Housing

[lawgal]

I seem to remember the sorority house in Iowa that was destroyed in a tornado? flooding? a year or two ago posted that their newly rebuilt house was 'green'. (I couldnt find the thread.)

That was the Sigma chapter of Alpha Chi Omega at the University of Iowa.

The best I could find is this article from the Iowa City paper:
Sorority settles into new home. There's a small mention of the house being "eco-friendly". It looks gorgeous, anyway!

When the Gamma Phi chapter planned its house (they were very new to campus) they hoped for LEED certification. In the end, the added costs to obtain the certification were too high, but they did many things, like sensors for lights, using all fluorescent lightbulbs in overhead lighting, buying green wherever they could to make the house as green as possible. They also actively recycle wherever possible.

the phi delta theta house at butler university is currently going under a $1.6 (might be $1.8?) million dollar renovation & will be a "green" house...the first in the state of indiana.

they're recolonizing this semester & planning on housing members beginning in the fall of 2009.
