Southwest Florida is one of the fastest growing
areas in the state, and many newly arrived residents want to build
their Florida dream house. Before you build your new home, visit
the Florida House Learning Center in Sarasota. Tour a
three-bedroom, two-bath home that was built to use only 40 to 60
percent of the water that today's average home uses and about half
the electricity. See first-hand how easy it is for builders and
homeowners to design a house (or office) built for the south
Florida climate. Learn how to incorporate recycled materials, use
materials with few toxic elements and install energy-saving designs
into new home construction.
