Summary of Habitat Dialogue

A meeting will be held with Carlene on Thursday, 2/10 at 3pm in the Habitat for Humanity office on Haco Drive (just a few buldings off Pennsylvania on the left, North of the zoo).

See what they’re doing now -- what they've done in the past

Other issues that affect a wholistic plan:

Design a simple system or unit or ??? that could be added

    Consider different scenarios for different applications/conditions

  • Green building retrofit
  • Active Solar
  • Passive Solar
  • Geothermal
  • Efficiency - Energy Star
  • Other
    •

    Training/workshop for volunteers (and us)-- possibly part of a series?
  • PV
  • Energy Code
  • Fuel Cells
  • Green Building
  • Energy Efficiency
