By: Associated Press//April 16, 2011//
Listen to this articleMILWAUKEE (AP) — The American Institute of Architects says two of the nation’s top-10 green projects for 2011 are in Wisconsin.
One is an addition to the First Unitarian Society Meeting House in Madison. The structure is a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Nationals Historic Landmark Meeting House first completed in 1951 before undergoing a 20,000-square foot addition. Its features include CO2 sensors that trigger a ventilation system and a vegetated roof.
The other project is the OS House in Racine. It’s located in a downtown neighborhood that exemplifies how a small, sustainable residence can be built on a moderate budget.
The home has been granted the highest certification for energy efficiency and sustainable practices and has won four AIA awards.
