A few years ago, Chad Ludeman and Nic Darling of Postgreen embarked on a journey "to build a LEED Platinum home for $100,000 in hard construction costs." Lucky for you, they not only succeeded but documented the entire process on their popular 100K House blog!

While their blog covers topics beyond the original project and is definitely a recommended read as a whole, I wanted to highlight some of the posts I found most helpful for LEED APs embarking on a LEED-Homes project... or you could just go directly to the 20 posts under the LEED category:
- To LEED or Not To LEED
- LEED Design Charrette Today
- Results of the LEED Design Charrette
- LEED for Homes Basic Process and Fees
- LEED for Homes - Home Size Adjustment Calculations
- Innovation & Design Process - LEED for Homes Review
- Construction Waste Management Recap
- LEED Landscaping Requirements
New readers may not be aware of a similar that that I profiled a over a year and a half ago (has it been that long???), The Lambert LEED Home. Know of other great LEED Homes resources that deserve attention? Let us know by leaving a comment.

Though Real Life LEED reserves the right to remove any and all comments at any time, in general I only remove posts if:
1. I feel like you're trying to sell more than trying to help. I don't mind if you share some website or product you own or market if it genuinely adds to the discussion. (19 posts removed so far)
2. You're posting as someone other than yourself. (0 posts removed so far)
3. You're post is in poor taste (racist, sexist, bullyish, etc.) as defined by me, Real Life LEED. (0 posts removed so far)
