CGBF Builds LEED-Home Pilot with Local High School
The LEED-Home project, a design-build partnership between CGBF and a local high school, broke ground in December 2008. The students in this program have previously built nine Habitat for Humanity homes.
The home was dedicated on Wednesday, May 20 2009. Later a residential expo included tours of the home and workshops on the various aspects of the project.
Media Coverage: NBC 4 visited our LEED Home site Friday, Jan. 12, 2009. They were doing a feature story about WKHS school students participating in the build. The program was broadcast on Wednesday Jan. 24th at 5 pm and Jan. 25th at noon.
The City of Columbus Housing Division and CGBF financed this project project at 258 N. 21st St. The project is at a LEED Gold rating level. The project features include:
Over 1 KW of Photovoltaics with net metering (application for metering approved by AEP)

Super insulated building envelope with 2×6 stud construction
