Habitat Builds First Energy Efficient Homes

Habitat for Humanity of Broward in Florida has just received LEED Gold certification for some of their new builds. They are the first builder in the Florida county to get this certification on their new builds. In order to receive the LEED Gold certification they had to demonstrate building performance in five areas: water conservation, sustainable site development, indoor environmental quality, material selection and last but not least energy efficiency. The families that are going to move into those homes are going to have a positive impact on their lives. Congrats to Habitat for Humanity in Broward County for thinking about the future.

    Amazing. Maybe this is the only way we can combat global warming without compromising anything else. When energy efficient homes become more affordable, we will definitely see widespread adoption.

    Volunteers are really the lifeblood of any endeavor. It's the unlimited motivation they possess that is their advantage.
