A wall-to-wall suite of cutting-edge insulation and drywall products from CertainTeed is helping to alleviate moisture concerns and establish a healthy indoor environment for Sunset Green Home, a post-hurricane rebuild that is striving to become the first LEED Platinum certified home in Southampton, N.Y. to take advantage of the town’s newly adopted green building property tax incentives.
Once a charming 1940s cottage resting five feet above sea level, Sunset Green Home was damaged by Hurricane Irene in 2011 and decimated by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Faced with rebuilding, homeowner Kim Erle, a LEED AP, set out to build a home that could stand up to future weather events while also creating a safe, healthy environment for her family.
