The film, Main Street: More than a Home, documents the story about the first LEED certified Habitat home in Tennessee.
Several months ago Habitat for Humanity in Chattanooga announced the first LEED certified home in Tennessee. The home was completed in April.
Today Habitat announced the film documenting the effort and the client's story - a remarkable story - will be featured at the Brownfields Film Festival on Tuesday, November 17th.
The LEED certified project was a joint effort with local entrepreneur - architect, Thomas Palmer; green builder Ethan Collier; and local nonprofit, green|spaces - and Habitat. The client is Baja Dalla, a Sudanese refugee, who Sudan's civil war in which his parents and siblings were killed to come to Chattanooga.
The Chattanoogan has a story about Baja and his family. This is the 4th refugee family helped by Chattanooga Habitat.
The story was so inspiring that David Porfiri and Linda Duvoison, with Mindflow Media, decided to produce a documentary film: Main Street: More than a Home.
Collier Construction has provided a resource sheet to describe some of the design features that makes the new home a green home. It includes planned features such as advanced framing, insulated crawl space and attic
