First LEED-cirtified home in NYS built in Schenectady

It’s meant for a low-income family, but the newly built 1005 Glendale Place looks nothing like the typical, stripped-down models that are designed to be affordable.

Instead, the just-finished house has all the trappings of prosperity, from solar panels on the roof to bamboo flooring in the living room.


“This is the first totally green LEED-certified — we think it’s going to be platinum certified — home in New York state,” said Mayor Brian U. Stratton. “That’s a tremendous accomplishment.”
