ABODE Hosts Plymouth State Sustainability Class

ABODE recently hosted a group of students from Plymouth State University to teach them about eco-friendly and sustainable construction practices. The students are learning about Sustainability, Second Homes and the Northern Forest, which focuses on the principals of sustainability in second homes in this region along with the sociological knowledge that can be applied to encourage homeowners to reduce their environmental impacts.

During the session the students learned about energy efficient building practices, environmentally friendly building materials and sustainable development. Much of the discussion touched on the sociological factors involved in the decision making process for building a second home, from how homeowners approach energy efficient building to how the word "sustainability" takes on a different meaning for different people and situations.

ABODE is happy to be able to provide a "remote classroom" experience for these students and extremely lucky to have such a great community partner in Plymouth State University. We look forward to the next opportunity to spread the word about green building.
