The Sustainable Concept House, completed and showcased in an Open House Gala in August 2009, was recently certified by the USGBC as the first Platinum LEED house in Kendall County, Texas. The project is providing a valuable service to the community by teaming with the neighboring Cibolo Nature Center to organize a series of informational workshops designed to familiarize and educate the public about green building. The house serves as a modern model of sustainable living while maintaining a traditional Hill Country look and feel.

In addition to utilizing eco-friendly building products, like Plycem Fiber Cement Exterior Trim, the home also features energy and water saving products and best practices, ultra efficient mechanical systems and applications, and indigenous, recycled and reclaimed materials.

In addition, the home will be part of a medical study examining the impact of home environment on allergy and asthma, while evaluating how a "healthy house" can improve quality of life.

Plycem was selected as the exterior trim for the green home due to its leading-edge practices for safeguarding human health and the environment. Plycem utilizes post-industrial and post-consumer recycled materials. Plycem's industrial processes are eco-efficient in energy consumption and control of appropriate levels in all its environmental indicators.
