Valley Oaks Homes

About the Project

Valley Oaks Homes, a 43-unit affordable housing community in Sonoma, received a LEED for Homes Platinum rating with guidance from Bright Green Strategies.

Satellite Affordable Housing Associates (SAHA) is an affordable housing provider in the Bay Area. SAHA believes in building long term communities, high quality design, and investing in green building practices. For their Valley Oaks Homes project they contracted design team McCamant & Durrett Architects and construction was led by Segue Construction Company.

Because SAHA, like many of our clients, was interested in creating a resource-efficient building with the highest sustainability rating possible, it was important for them to hire an expert in the industry which could guide them to their goal efficiently and strategically and also verify the sustainable features of the project for certification.

Because we’re experts in many areas of green building, we’re able to assist our clients with everything from field testing and rebate applications to government regulation compliance and sustainability certification. We assessed all of the sustainability standards SAHA had envisioned and assisted in determining what could actually be executed based on budget and desired LEED rating. We implemented quality assurance testing to ensure design and development.
