Habitat Build

The SVBA Green Building Committee, in partnership with Central Valley Habitat for Humanity, will construct an EarthCraft House© and Energy Star certified home on site at the 2010 SVBA Home and Garden Show.

The project will highlight green building products and practices found in new residential construction, including design, optimum value framing, intelligent use of materials, heating and cooling, and insulation. 
 
The project will be a wonderful opportunity to spotlight local builders and suppliers who are driving the move toward sustainability in the Shenandoah Valley. The project will also be an educational tool for consumers, providing information about EarthCraft House© and Energy Star, two programs endorsed by the SVBA, highlighting the SVBA's commitment to green building.

And the best part? A local family in need of sound housing gets to apply their own hard work and sweat equity toward a future home that will provide a lifetime of low energy bills, clean air and low maintenance.

 The Habitat House has been completed.
