|
reen building is making a noticeable impact on the Carolinas, and is consequently receiving a lot of national attention.
North Carolina community planner Vanguard Homes was named an Energy Star Partner of the Year in
both 2006 and 2007.
They’re showing off their superb energy efficiency skills at The
Villas at Forest Hills, a new and luxurious Energy Star-certified townhome community
located in the heart of the North Carolina Sandhills in Pinehurst, N.C.
Down on the South Carolina
coast, Withers Preserve, a community in Myrtle Beach, is enjoying newly-found fame as the
very first GE Ecomagination community in the United States.

n North Charleston, Noisette is literally
setting the standard for
sustainable growth. This
forward-thinking
community has been
nationally recognized by
organizations such as
the Urban Land Institute
for its revolutionary
manner of approaching
sustainable development.
And slightly farther
south, the first HGTV
Green Home is planned
for Tradition Hilton
Head, a sustainable
community, where even
the golf course (an
Audubon Cooperative
Sanctuary Program
member) is “green” –
planted with
drought-tolerant Bermuda
grass and irrigated with
treated reclaimed water.
n an effort to bring
these revolutionary
communities and green
ideas to the public, CarolinaLiving.com is developing the Carolina GreenHome Tour™,
a collection of green idea homes, sustainable communities and green hotels across the Carolinas.
Check back often to see our growing list, and hopefully we’ll inspire you to “go green,” too!
