Sophomore Service Crew Builds LEED Home
By Jim Reid
One of Woodberry's sophomore service crews spent the afternoon of April 30, 2011, assisting with the interior construction of a home being built through Habitat for Humanity. Habitat is an organization that builds homes to be purchased by low-income families using zero-percent loans. The team learned how to cut and hang drywall and then went right to work drywalling three rooms in the house.
This Greene County home is the first ever student-built, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)- registered house in the United States.
The job supervisors and the future homeowner, who worked alongside the fourth-form students, appreciated the boys’ enthusiastic efforts.
