Community based renewable energy projects

New Housing Development Features Shared Renewable Energy

In a small town in southwestern New Hampshire a big idea is emerging. It's a concept called co-housing and it's beginning to break ground across America.

Here, twenty-nine families live in a neighborhood of single, double and quadruple-family homes that are clustered on a small portion of 113 acres of pasture, ponds and open land.

The families will live independently of each other but share some important aspects of life including a farm, entertainment space and energy.

Conceptually sound while adhereing to the sustainable principals of cheaper, better, faster (simultaneously).

Sign me up to the one that is beginning in Southeastern Michigan.

Best,
