Jackie O'Neil built the Philadelphia area's first LEED-certified house. Using techniques like solar panels, geothermal heating, and energy efficient appliances, the home relies on no fossil-fuel energy sources.

O'Neil is now an advocate who speaks regionally about the cost and environmental savings of sustainable home building.
