SUMMARY:Power Hour | Is Zero energy the solution to housing affordability?
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity and Kor Community Land Trust \nWhen it comes to affordable homeownership\, Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity knows how to get it done. With 150 homes built (and counting)\, our community relies on their organization and volunteers to fill an important need for affordable homeownership. Kor Community Land Trust\, a new non-profit to the scene\, is also working to address the need for stable and permanently affordable housing. Both non-profits have committed to providing zero energy homes–that is\, homes that produce as much energy as they use–with no utility bills.\n\nWhy zero energy? Because it means their families can reliably count on stable housing costs\, even as utility costs continue to increase. Because it means healthier indoor air quality. And because the homes will be more durable and need fewer repairs over the life of the home.\n\nSpoiler alert–zero energy homes might just be the missing link to creating more affordable housing for our entire community. Join us to hear the whole story from Jacob Clark\, Director of Construction with Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity\, and Amy Warren\, Executive Director\, Kor Community Land Trust. They will show us how their homeownership programs are changing lives and why zero energy is a crucial piece of their missions.\n\nRegister \nMeet our speakers: \n\nJacob Clark\, Director of Construction\, Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity. Jacob proudly builds homes and changes lives through shelter. He brings a unique perspective on efficient and affordable shelter to the team.\nAmy Warren\, Executive Directory\, Kor Community Land Trust. Amy worked in the construction for 14-years before receiving a degree in Energy Systems Engineering from Oregon State University in 2015. She moved to Bend in 1996 and has seen first hand the change in our housing needs. She has a passion for equity in housing\, sustainable building and design\, and energy efficiency.\n\n\nThank you to our presenting sponsor\n\n\nEnergy Trust of Oregon\, an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to helping utility customers benefit from saving energy and generating renewable power. Their services\, cash incentives and energy solutions have helped participating customers of Portland General Electric\, Pacific Power\, NW Natural\, Cascade Natural Gas and Avista save $3.4 billion on energy bills. Their work helps keep energy costs as low as possible\, creates jobs and builds a sustainable energy future.\n\n\nThank you to our event sponsor\n\n \nEarth Advantage’s third-party certification ensures five key areas of building a sustainable home are met for these projects: energy\, health\, land\, materials\, and water.
