From Washington State, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer sent out notice to its readers that they may want to witness the assembly of Seattle’s first LEED Platinum modular home. Six boxes transported via truck from the factory in Idaho will be installed one-at-a-time by crane onto the foundation, forming this prefab demonstration home. The home is a project of Greenfab and is an example of urban infill. Greenfab is targeting net-zero energy and aiming to meet the goals set by the 2030 Challenge, which demands all new buildings achieve a fossil fuel reduction of 60-percent for 2010, a 100-percent reduction (carbon neutral) by 2030. The placement will take place December 7th from 10 am—noon at 1827 S. Lane St. in Seattle.
