I was excited to hear on the news last week that Habitat for Humanity Riverside just built the country's first affordable solar-powered Habitat for Humanity "smart" house. Habitat is hoping that the home will be certified LEED Platinum by the USGBC. Not only is this good news for the environment, but also the family that will be living in the home can expect significantly lower energy bills. In fact, the home is expected to generate more energy than it will use. If you are interested in learning more, check out these webpages. Pretty neat!
