"This new development is a showcase for the future of eco-friendly living," said Richard Lowenthal, CEO of Coulomb Technologies. "Charging stations for electric vehicles should be at the top of nearly every LEED checklist. We are pleased the developers have taken a progressive approach in looking at green transportation and electric vehicles."

In addition to the ChargePoint charging station, the home will showcase the best in green architecture, fixtures, appliances, furnishings, and art. Other amenities include reclaimed slate on the bathroom walls and floors rescued from a shuttered school, countertops made of reclaimed antique pine that would otherwise have gone to a landfill, and Smart Home Automation that allows climate control, lighting, security and audio-visual accessible from a smart phone. There are also radiant heated bathroom floors, a fireplace surround comprised of reclaimed coconut shells, dual flush toilets and water purification systems. All are environmentally sensitive and stylistically chic yet maximize energy and water conservation.

The tree will be donated to Mayor Nutter and the City of Philadelphia.
