Lehigh Valley Green Builders sponsors events to educate the general public as well as architects, building trades professionals, and facilities administrators about the many benefits of green construction and maintenance.

Our founding Board President Bruce Wilson is conducting research on energy efficient homes in the Lehigh Valley and Bucks County regions.

Between 1975 and 1988, Buffalo Homes built extremely energy efficient houses. Bruce worked for Buffalo Homes in 1987. By researching the energy performance of these houses, we hope to be able to make the business case for the investment in high performance construction. Bruce and his wife, Annie Prince, will be writing a report to be published about the information they have gathered.

Anyone with information about Buffalo Homes or other experimental energy efficient houses to be included in the study, please contact Bruce at: info@lvgreenbuilders.org. As the USGBC LEED®™ for Homes is preparing for adoption; this data will allow us to make return-on-investment calculations on the extra costs of high energy efficiency in home construction.
