Longtime Westport builder Barry Katz recently completed the house that features a geothermal heating and cooling sytem, formaldehyde-free plywood, water-saving dual-flush toilets, and zero volatile organic compounds.
“I feel houses should not only keep you warm and dry, but they should also keep you healthy,” said Katz, who has spent years researching “green” refinements.
