Habitat for Humanity Constructing Net-Zero Community
The St. Croix, WI Habitat for Humanity chapter is constructing an 18-home net-zero community called Eco Village. The project broke ground last summer and now has four completed homes ready for occupancy. The homes will each have a 6.5 kW roof-mounted solar array and a solar hot water system. An additional 75 kW solar array will be installed in the area for community purposes, such as lighting and powering an electric vehicle charging station. The project is expected to receive a LEED for Homes Platinum designation and create less expensive housing for low income families.
