Lennox Hearth Products featured in Tradewinds Show Home 2008
Builder Magazine's Tradewinds Show Home 2008 was one of the premier show homes highlighted at the International Builders' Show. Combining classic and contemporary design and functionality, this 7,316-square foot, two-level house (plus another 2,200-square feet of covered outdoor area) appeals to a variety of modern sensitivities. Oriented to optimize its lakeside lot and facilitate passive ventilation, the home showcases the latest high-performance products as well as a smart style and layout that further reduce its environmental footprint, achieving a balance of lifestyle, comfort, convenience and efficiency.

Cosponsored by the National Council of the Housing Industry and Builder Magazine, the New American Home 2008 demonstrates use of innovative building materials, cutting-edge design and the latest construction techniques, providing production homebuilders with an example for producing more energy efficient, durable homes without sacrificing style.
The New American Home is a 6,725-square foot, plantation-style house located in the prestigious Waters Edge subdivision, a gated, 11-lot development adjacent to a private golf and country club community along the banks of Orlando's Lake Nona.
The home's combined 2,950 square feet of covered outdoor spaces feature an outdoor kitchen and, beyond it, a solana (or salon) complete with LHP's Elite™ Series 40" Direct-Vent See-Through Propane Fireplace.

Lennox Hearth Products partners with InSync Home
Lennox Hearth Products is proud to be a participating sponsor of the InSync Home, co-produced by Builder and HOME magazines.

LHP supplied the Elite™ Series outdoor gas fireplace (EODG42) and the Superior® Universal Vent-Free Fireplace (UVFRC-4228) to the home.
Lennox Hearth Products featured in Marina Green Showhouse
Lennox Hearth Products showcased three Elite™ Series louverless direct-vent gas fireplaces (ELDV) in the SETTLING IN THE CITY: MARINA GREEN SHOWHOUSE. HOME and Remodeling magazines partnered with developer and builder Regina Callan to create the showhouse in San Francisco’s prestigious Marina District. Selected for his skilled craftsmanship and environmental sensitivity, architect Mark English transformed the 5,000-sq.-ft., 74-year-old Spanish Mediterranean home into an eco-conscious architectural jewel. The showhouse was featured at the Pacific Coast Builders’ Conference (PCBC®) May 29-June 1. Thousands of PCBC visitors toured the house, learning about the design, products, and green technologies used for the project.

Lennox Hearth Products, exclusive supplier, showcases the Elite™ Series fireplace in Sarah Susanka's Not-So-Big Showhouse
Sarah Susanka, architect and best-selling author, used the 2005 International Builders’ Show in Orlando, Florida as a setting to introduce another Not-So-Big Showhouse. Susanka feels that new homes are getting larger and larger, without any element of design or thought toward comfort and energy-efficiency. She believes that a home, regardless of its square footage, should be proportionate to the homeowner’s needs. The Showhouse is a smaller, well-designed home that saves on space and, in turn, offers safer, healthier, and more energy-sustainable products that help achieve the maximum level of comfort and living space for the homeowner. Susanka included only environmentally minded products in keeping with an overall focus on energy efficiency.
Susanka chose the Lennox Hearth Elite™ Series front-view, direct-vent gas fireplace as her point of focus in the Showhouse living room. The Merit™ Plus front-view, direct vent gas fireplace was chosen for the master bedroom. Both models have the distinguished Good Housekeeping Seal and are AFUE-rated for efficiency as a heating product.
This full-scale project incorporates the principles of energy efficiency and sustainability found in the Sustainable Buildings Industry Council’s Green Building Guidelines and the Department of Energy’s Building America program. The home, located in Lake Nona, Florida, will be open for touring until July 2005.
