Rotarian Patty Clark (Midwest Energy) and Kyle Hoffman (LISD) spoke today about the SEED (Sustainable Energy Efficient Demonstration) House program. Their two organizations along with MECA are the owner partners in this project. The SEED home they are building on the LISD's Tipton Hwy property will serve as an energy efficiency teaching tool for students, contractors, home owners, realtors, civic group and any others who may have an interest in saving energy. A combination of cut-aways and mechanical displays will demonstrate the 80% energy usage decrease over conventional construction in a manner that is Practical, affordable and easy to understand. This project follows on the heels of the LISD12 school building in Michigan that is "Net zero" which means it generates as much energy as it uses.To conclude the program, our own Kevin Marti was on hand to present a check from Gleaner in support of the project.
