BA-PIRC Partnership with
Holiday Builders
Melbourne, FL
Holiday Builders Green Showcase Home |
Holiday Builders became a BA-PIRC partner in late 2007. The builder expressed interest in pursuing high performance and green strategies for upcoming homes and communities. FSEC staff provided energy analysis, recommendations, load calculations, duct design, and envelope/duct testing, and Florida Green Home certification as they constructed their first Energy Star homes in central Florida. Team members also met with Holiday corporate staff to discuss future partnership opportunities in Florida, as well as in other states. Energy analysis was provided for select home plans that may be built in South Carolina. One highlight of this activity was assisting with the finalization and certification of Holiday Builder’s first green / Energy Star home. The 1904 sq. ft., 4-bedroom home was certified by the Florida Green Building Coalition and received a HERS Index of 73. It was showcased during a local parade of homes (figure right).
