Habitat For Humanity Home of the Future

Habitat for Humanity was having a display in Seattle by the Space Needle of the home of the Future. It was mainly focused on susantable materials and energy saving. Ways they came up for energy saving was the wetbox. They had all their appliances all connected to each other, this includes sinks, dish washer, washer, toilets, and water heater. This way there would be only one water line. It doesn't just save on cost but it make the building process a lot faster. They also did double wall insulation and double windows to keep the heat in the home. Another idea was that they used large windows to the home seem larger and to bring in more natural light. I thought that the home layout was interesting and it was a great opportunity to learn about the habitat for humanity organization.
