Dominion Partners with Carbon-Neutral House in Northern Virginia
|
Dominion Virginia Power is partnering with a host of designers and builders to make a new home in Northern Virginia carbon neutral. The CharityWorks GreenHouse in McLean, Va., is the first carbon-neutral house on the East Coast. |
The builders enrolled the house in the Dominion Green Power program, which guarantees that renewable energy was produced and delivered to the power pool, preventing the need for energy to be generated from other traditional sources over time.
CharityWorks is selling tickets for tours of the carbon-neutral house. CharityWorks is an organization whose mission is to impact organizations creating positive change in the Washington Metropolitan area by uniting corporate leaders, donors and volunteers to enable non-profits to transform themselves and the lives they touch. The house is also open for tours until Oct. 30.
