Home builder Luis Imery has built a home any homeowner would be proud of, the first U.S. Department of Energy-certified DOE Zero Energy Ready Home in the state of Georgia. The home, completed in August 2013, was a collaborative effort by builder Imery of The Imery Group, architect and building science consultant Chris Laumer-Giddens of LG Squared Inc., Residential Design and Proud Green Home.com, an online publisher of green home information. Proud Green Home.com asked Imery to construct its first “Proud Green Home” and brought in a dozen building products manufacturers as project partners. These partners supplied some of the high-performance and resource-efficient products used in construction of the 2,811-square-foot modern home.
