This article is from PLENTY magazine which relates well with our day today at the GREEN DESIGN exhibit at the National Building Museum. It shows that we can also make affordable sustainable condo-style living rather than just suburban houses.
The housing is specifically for previously homeless people in Chicago bracing against the icy, cold winds. "For these residents, the wind is no foe, but an ally supplying a portion of their energy. Solar panels, rainwater collection, and gray-water recycling are other features that set this project apart from typical subsidized housing. The five-story building also meets LEED certification standards."
