DaVinci Designated Gold Sponsor in Green Life Smart Life Project

DaVinci Roofscapes®, the leader in synthetic roofing tiles, has supplied the company’s award-winning line of DaVinci roofing tiles for the Green Life Smart Life home project in Narragansett, Rhode Island. The 4,300-square-foot ocean view home was constructed to LEED® standards and features a multitude of environmentally-friendly building products and practices.

Smart Project

“This home is the first in the country using the environmentally efficient DaVinci Weathered Gray roofing tiles,” says Joe Hageman, owner of the home. “We anticipate this roof will help us save up to an estimated 15 percent each year on energy costs while improving the comfort of our home.

“We selected these roofing tiles for several reasons. Along with the energy efficiency aspects of the tiles, they have been rated Class 4 for impact resistance, have the highest ratings for straight line wind testing at 110 mph and have a Class A fire retardance rating. These are all features that will help the roof stand up to the potentially severe coastal weather we face in the future.”

Green Life Smart Life

DaVinci Roofscapes serves as a Gold Level Sponsor in the Green Life Smart Life project, which demonstrates how families can make lifestyle choices that are both sustainable and realistic to meet their needs without compromising the environment’s needs. Combining green building with smart home technology, Green Life Smart Life embraces the notion that modern day living can and should go hand in hand with sustainability and environmental stewardship.

Throughout the home, ENERGY STAR® qualified products were installed (including appliances and an indoor air package) along with smart technology items. A full listing of the energy efficient products and practices can be found at www.greenlifesmartlife.com.
