Postgreen is currently working on their "100K House" project where they will be seeking LEED for Homes certification on two homes. Currently they are seeking LEED Gold at a minimum and may have slight chance at reaching Platinum on one of the homes. The project gets its name from the goal of building a modern and green home for a construction budget of only $100,000 USD and $100 per square foot.
