About Greenview Estates: Located off Woodland Avenue in northeast Columbus, the green development is part of Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman's "Get Green, Columbus" initiative, in partnership with the BIA, the Affordable Housing Trust and MiraCit Development Corporation. The 10.92 acre site has been sub-divided into 30 buildable lots and are being sold to low to moderate-income families. All the homes in the neighborhood will be built to far more rigorous environmental standards than typical homes. Homes feature durable, energy-efficient construction, Energy Star-rated appliances & other amenities. The homes built to-date have been third-party-tested and have HERS scores of 62-60, indicating a 38-40% improvement over traditional and translating into around 3800-4000 kWh/year reduction in consumption. |

The house passed its blower test with flying colors. All homes in this development must meet the requirements for Energy Star high performance and the more stringent ratings required for the federal energy tax credit. |
![]() Every garage has this ventilation fan that turns on when the garage door is opened and runs long enough to remove exhaust fumes so they aren't drawn into the house. |
