Staff Report Updated 7:54 AM Tuesday, January 24, 2012

In partnership with CountyCorp’s The Housing Source, the Home Builders Association of Dayton is presenting the first Eco-Rehabarama in May in Huber Heights.

Ten nearly historical homes located in one of the original sections of Huber Heights will be rehabilitated to meet or exceed today’s standards for safe, comfortable, efficient and sustainable living. The work will culminate with a public invited, two weekend home showcase in May. Seven residential construction professional members of the HBA of Dayton will be performing the transformations.

The enhancements to the homes will include new long life roofs and low maintenance exterior siding, high efficiency windows, high density insulation, new mechanical systems including heating, ventilation and air conditioning, new electrical systems and security systems, water efficient plumbing systems, some will include alternate energy aspects, rainwater recovery systems, Energy Star appliances, new technology previous pavement, and resource efficient landscaping. The homes will be rated to the National Association of Home Builders Green Building Standard providing a comparison between the original home and the Eco-rehabbed home.

The Eco-Rehabarama event will take place May 11-13 and May 18-20 with special events such as green living and eco educational programs and special events taking place at each home. The homes will be marketed and sold by CountyCorp’s The Housing Source Signature Homes for occupancy at the conclusion of the show. The homes will sell for $95,000 to $125,000 each.
