AAHA recently entered into an agreement with Habitat for Humanity International as part of the five-year Home Depot Partners in Sustainable Building grant to help affiliates through training and direct financial assistance.
With so many variables involved in construction there is not a one-size-fits-all solution to building a better house. Some improvements can be realized with just training and techniques, while greater improvements are possible with modified materials, practices and planning.
1. Provide technical assistance with
a) energy-efficent building science and technology
b) sustainable building and general construction
practices and planning
2. Rate & certify houses with specialized equipment.
Project Planning
- review upcoming projects
- lead training sessions for site leaders
- one-on-one consultation with construction managers
- line-by-line reviews of construction specifications
Site Review & Certification
- mid-project thermal bypass checklist
- duct pressurization test
- blower door testing
- final certification
With the calendar you can see if I am in the office, or scheduled out to an event. I may be near your affiliate or traveling near your affiliate and can schedule a visit to your office or work-site.
