Recently, SMART VENT® teamed up on Extreme Makeover Home Edition – New Orleans; working with Deltec Homes and the rest of the construction team to rebuild a New Orleans church and a new home for a multi-generational family in Southern Louisiana. The episode showcasing the effort aired May 18, 2008 as the season finale on ABC (see local listings for the rerun if you missed it). Deltec Homes, a Green Home Building specialty firm that headed up the makeovers, was very happy to be able to condition the Louisiana home’s crawlspace while still complying with floodplain building codes. Steve Linton, Green Building Coordinator for Deltec Homes said: “We knew, going into this that we would be able to condition the crawlspace because of my research… when I found out about SMART VENT® Flood Vents.” The end result, substantially reduced flood insurance AND substantially reduced energy costs – a win-win situation for any homeowner, especially one who wants to Build Green.
