Habitat for Humanity Builds Green in the Twin Cities
Posted by Jessica, BiOH Polyols Marketing Manager on April 26, 2009
Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity (TCHFH) dedicated the first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified Habitat home in the Twin Cities metro in Crystal, MN on Saturday April 18. The Green Demonstration Home explored new products and building techniques, further developing the organization’s best practices in green building . These learnings will be shared across the Habitat for Humanity organization to be incorporated in future building projects. Cargill was the lead sponsor for the home. Interested in a tour?
The BiOH® Polyols team was excited about this Habitat project. Many of our team members volunteered at the home last fall. (I think most of us are better suited for our “regular” jobs versus careers in home building!) We partnered with Healthier Choice to donate carpet cushion made with BiOH polyols to Habitat for the home over the winter. And when the new family moves into their new home, they will relax comfortably in their donated furniture from Lane Home Furnishings and sleep well on their new Serta® mattress – all selected from HOM furniture. Thank you to all of our partners for your generosity!

Habitat for Humanity had an open house for the public following the dedication ceremony to share resources about green products in the home. We had an exhibit there to share information about products made with BiOH polyols. Here’s a look at our display: What are your thoughts about Habitat for Humanity building green?

Excellent job combining branding and sustainability and an organization like Habitat. Sustainability makes sense in affordable housing and will help families long into the future with lower energy costs, improved health while simultaneously helping the environment as a whole. It also helps reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Win, Win, Win.
