Listen "Masterfully Planned: Hurricane-Proof, Zero-Energy Homes on Florida's Coast"
Episode Synopsis
Marshall Gobuty didn’t set out to build green when he became a real estate developer in his 50s. After a successful career in the clothing and furnishings industries, he sought to establish credibility in Florida’s competitive housing market. LEED certification presented the perfect opportunity. But Gobuty didn’t stop at meeting the minimum. His first project, Mirabella, became the first LEED Platinum Certified residential community in the U.S. His next development, Hunters Point, became the first LEED Zero Energy Certified community in the world. Sometimes, it takes an outsider to push an industry beyond its norms and conventions. Gobuty is building sustainable neighborhoods and communities many could hardly imagine—until now.Show Links:Guest: Marshall GobutyCompany: Pearl HomesResidential Development: Hunters PointGreen Building Resources: U.S. Green Building Council and RESNET For more Supercool climate solutions that cut carbon, improve modern life, and shape the new low carbon economy, subscribe to the podcast plus:* Youtube Channel* Weekly Newsletter* Instagram and LinkedIn
