Jetson Green has posted about some new green building projects:

• Blue Star Corner in the Bay Area with water-efficient plumbing and mass transit nearby.
• Shizen, a net zero energy condo building in Portland.
• 1800 Larimer, a LEED Silver skyscraper planned in Denver.
• Capitol West, a whole neighborhood development in Madison, including condos, townhomes, and lofts.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal writes about a 41-unit, five-story condo project in Las Vegas:

Green Valley Lofts will offer one of the most energy-efficient projects in Las Vegas, integrating sustainable design principles and advanced building technologies, Vydra said.

The developer’s goal is to drastically reduce utility costs for residents, while minimizing the effect of the building’s construction on the environment.

Using European glazing techniques for the façade, energy requirements of the building will be significantly reduced compared with conventional structures, he said.
