“In today’s economic climate, it may seem like banks just aren’t lending anymore. At Sound Community Bank not only are we still lending, but we are encouraging our efforts to go green by supporting businesses such as Martha Rose Construction (MRC). “
Martha believes, that even in this tough building environment, there are opportunities for increasing building efficiencies, innovation and improved environmental initiatives. MRC works with the Department of Energy and the Building America pro-gram to help builders achieve a zero-net energy use home. MRC has 19 cer¬tified homes at the rigorous 5-Star level of the Master Builder’s Built Green program. You may have even seen two of them featured on the Discovery Channel’s “Renovation Nation” in 2008.
While building ordinances throughout the country are slowly adopting green elements MRC continues to push the home building envelop with their latest affordable, high-performance, green homes within the Seattle market. FishSingerPlace.com
