The goal of this project is to realize the potential of all-electric homes for low-income first-time homebuyers who are working with Habitat for Humanity affiliates across the state of Massachusetts. Habitat for Humanity affiliates build dozens of new homes each year and building practices vary from affiliate to affiliate. This survey provides a look at current practices as we convene affiliates to share best practices for building simple, durable, energy efficient homes.
Of the 16 Habitat for Humanity affiliates in Massachusetts, 14 were able to fully complete this survey, and all were able to partially complete this survey. This project was made possible through funding from a MassCEC EmPower grant.
