2009-10-24 20:13:28 - RevealRealEstate today unveiled its new 2009 GreenList shining the light on the 45 greenest master-planned communities in Costa Rica, Panama, Belize and Nicaragua.

Among the 45 winners are Casa Llanta in Nicaragua, home of the first Earthship (a house made out of all recycled materials) in Central America; Valle Escondido in Panama with its own hydro electric power plant supplying the energy needs of the residents and resort facilities; Finca Las Brisas in Costa Rica where reforestation and organic farming projects are planned

- guided by sustainable development principles and Palmetto Bay in Belize which will use geothermal cooling and heating technology, solar power for outside illumination and wind power. 

RevealRealestate compiled the list using public disclosures made on the following criteria: Biodiversity, Energy Management, Green Building, Water & Waste Management and Social Responsibility & Giving Back.

As more buyers actively seek to invest in a way that helps produce a healthy and livable world for all, how real estate developments perform on environmental and social issues will have a direct impact on their competitiveness and profitability.
