partnership
with twin cities habitiat for humanity
MEI’s Partnership with Twin
Cities Habitat for Humanity (Habitat) is an effort to
create homes using proven, practical, and affordable green
building methods. MEI’s partnership with Habitat
began ten years ago with a joint project to redevelop
urban sites throughout the metro area. Now MEI is helping
Habitat assess their building practices, with the goal
of increasing the sustainability of all future Habitat
construction.
A demonstration house:
Green building methods adopted by
Habitat and MEI will be showcased in a demonstration house,
to be built in Crystal during spring 2008. The demonstration
house will use recycled materials and locally produced
products, and may include features such as low flow water
fixtures, permeable pavement, energy star appliances,
and solar hot water. The house’s most successful
features that do not reduce the affordability or volunteer
friendliness of Habitat construction will be included
in all future Habitat homes.
