I met Lance Manlove several years ago at a conference on sustainable architecture in Lewes. Lance was the President of  Zero Energy Builders and I  was (and still am) working at Ocean Atlantic Sotheby’s pursing an avid interest in sustainable real estate. Over time we partnered together to co-market green homes, work at conferences together as well as give seminars on green housing with Allen Luzak, owner of JCN Home Performance, an energy auditor.

Lance earned a Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Delaware and is a Certified Green Professional through the NAHB Green Building Program. While at the University he worked for Astro Power, now GE Solar. He attributes that experience to developing his passion for building green homes and introducing renewable energy systems with a goal of achieving net zero energy consumption. His early professional work showed him the benefits of renewable energy and conservation. The two pictures are of a Zero Energy home currently under construction in Wolfe Pointe. It will be the first home to be built in Lewes to LEED standards.
