Anyone paying attention to the "green building" market knows that most of the eco-friendly abodes that have proliferated across the country in recent years have been million-dollar trophy homes.
But the developers of the new North Pointe neighborhood in Frederick are taking things in the other direction: They’re building energy-efficient townhouses and duplexes geared toward middle-class buyers. The 55 homes start in the mid-$200,000s, but will offer the kind of "green bling" usually found in more upscale models: solar panels, geothermal heating and a sophisticated computer system to help manage energy usage.
