The Lopez Community Land Trust’s Lopez Common Ground serves as a national model for community collaboration, affordability and sustainability in a rural area. The site footprint, climate, water availability, and wind patterns were carefully considered when constructing the 11 single family homes. This whole-house systems approach has resulted in 60 percent reduced energy and maintenance costs, 30 percent reduced water costs, improved durability and safer indoor air quality for its residents.
