Building Green, Building HopeTogether, we build homes powered for the future.
At Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity, we believe a safe, stable home should also be built to serve families well for years to come. Through our Green Building Initiatives, we incorporate energy-efficient and environmentally responsible practices into every Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity home and repair project.From Energy Star-rated windows and doors to spray foam insulation, efficient HVAC systems, and energy-saving appliances, these improvements lower utility costs, reduce environmental impact, and create healthier homes for families and in our community. Together, we build homes that generate opportunity. Because when homeowners spend less on utilities, they have more resources for the things that matter most for their families.
Solar Energy FundA brighter future starts with a home.Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity has been building solar-ready homes for over a decade. Our houses are constructed with the wiring and infrastructure needed to support future solar panels, without costly renovations.
With your support, we can take the next step and turn solar-ready homes into solar-powered homes. Gifts designated to the Solar Energy Fund help cover the cost of installing solar panel systems on Habitat homes, allowing families to benefit from renewable energy and even greater long-term savings.
You can also participate through a Carbon Offset Initiative, which allows individuals and organizations to offset CO₂ emissions from flights or other carbon-intensive activities by supporting the installation of solar panels on Habitat homes. Learn more and calculate your suggested offset donation at https://www.habitatsolar.org/.
Every gift, whether supporting energy-efficient building practices, installing solar panels, or offsetting your carbon emissions, helps build homes that are healthier for families, easier to maintain, and better for the environment.Together, we build a more sustainable future, for homeowners AND our community.
