Our class met yesterday with the LaTech chapter of Habitat for Humanity. I was surprised, they had a rather large turnout. Hopefully when we start construction they will have that same number of people. After the H4H meeting our 5th year group met to discuss where we are at in our research and what we wanted to have for Monday's meeting.

Some of the precedents I'm researching are: renovation projects, homes incorporating green roof systems, modular homes, and any projects completed with cradle to cradle guidelines. One interesting project I'm looking at is the Roanoke-Lee street affordable housing project. This community scraps any previous ideas of how affordable housing should look while showcasing obtainable energy savings. All of the homes are energy star qualified with a focus on building envelope, HVAC, water heating, lighting, & appliances.
