Michigan Habitat for Humanity Achieves LEED Platinum with CertainTeed
CertainTeed recently helped achieve LEED Platinum certification for 335 Freyling Place—the milestone 300th home built by Habitat for Humanity of Kent County, Mich., (Habitat Kent)—with a donation of M2Tech Moisture and Mold Resistant Gypsum Board. With its enhanced resistance to mold growth, the product was a natural fit within Habitat Kent’s goal of providing healthier affordable housing with high indoor air quality.
“Indoor air quality is very important to our homeowners because many of them have become ill in rental situations where they’ve gotten sick from breathing contaminated interior air,” said Connie O’Toole, construction director for Habitat Kent. “Having moisture- and mold-resistant board in a home certainly helps support higher indoor air quality, so we’re thankful to CertainTeed for donating its M2Tech gypsum board to this project.”
