I work for EarthCraft Virginia and right now we do have a thriving single family (new construction) certification but this year we are going to officially be launching our single family renovation certification which will be great for these older Richmond homes. Please visit our website, www.earthcraftvirginia.org or feel free to contact me if you have any other questions. Hello Everyone – thanks for your support and enthusiasm regarding “green building”.

I actually want to specialize in the historic area/city of Richmond. I actually appreciate the "control" which I believe adds value. Nothing like investing in a restoration to have someone put turquoise aluminum siding on the house beside it. Anything I build/restore will be a nice complement architecturally to the surrounding homes. Yep – I learned the ropes on the historic district and CAR with my first restoration here.

If it's a City of Richmond Old and Historic district, then there is an additional layer of approvals required; the City's Commission of Architectural Review must approve the plans. If it's a State or National Historic District, then you aren't required to seek CAR approval. It really depends on what kind of historic area you’re talking about.

I'm looking at building a vintage style home from the ground up for my next project, unless I find a suitable house in Church Hill to restore in the next month or so. In addition to building extremely energy efficient I'm looking at doing my new projects as "green" as possible. Thanks for posting this article!
