| Abstract/Contents: | Announces that "five architects were selected to design...energy-efficient homes in Chicago [Illinois] as part of a citywide effort to promote energy-efficient housing and development." States that "the houses will be built on city-owned land with funding from ComEd, a local utilities provider. Green features proposed by the architects include a rooftop garden, solar-powered heating and cooling, and a stairwell that uses water bottles for insulation." Concludes that "eventually, Chicago's Department of Housing will sell the homes and incorporate their successful features into specifications for future affordable housing projects." |
