Environmental Design + Construction - October 2008 - (Page 70) SUSTAINABLE HOME DRURY HABITAT HOUSE DONORS AND VOLUNTEERS ALLIED ROOFING: TPO ROOF and three rain barrels manage the roof runoff. Environmentally friendly, biodegradable building waste was chipped to use as landscaping mulch in the rain gardens and planted areas. The pervious concrete driveway and pavers allow rainwater to seep into the site rather than run to the stormwater system. To keep the home in context with other area homes, we incorporated a split gable on the street elevation and used a siding that looks similar to products used on other homes. The home’s siding uses recycled content and is insect and moisture resistant. Changing the direction and color of the siding to describe the volumes of the home gives it style at no extra cost. Other sustainable elements include: Low-E casement windows, finger-jointed lumber, lowVOC paint, low-flow and ENERGY STAR fixtures. The deck has recycled content and the carpet is a true “cradle to cradle” product. Reclaimed materials make up the handrails of the catwalk, the tile and cabinetry of the kitchen.

In building this student-designed dwelling, the 11 students of my “dream team” gained practical knowledge about design, sustainability, construction, construction management and the LEED for Homes certification process.
