Overview

General Overview

The house that is being designed is for a Habitat for Humanity family. Habitat for humanity

International seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent

shelter a matter of conscience and action. Through volunteer labor and donations of money

and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner

(partner) families. Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit and are financed with

affordable loans. The homeowners’ monthly mortgage payments are used to build additional Habitat

houses.

The land that the Habitat for Humanity house is on is fairly unique. The plot has two main roads along

with two alleys circling it. The Plot has a sidewalk on the two road sides. The Land is flat, well drained,

and is covered by sandy soil with some vegetation.

The house that is being created is being built with local and federal codes in mind, along with Habitat for

Humanity’s strict guidelines. There will be a three person family that will be moving into the house after

it is finished.

Universal Design

The design is largely influenced by the family that is moving in. They have certain Ideas that they would

like to see in their house. All the utilities and appliances are in the basement. Kitchen maneuverability,

door size, hallway size, and house size is very strictly governed by Habitat for Humanity.

Sustainable Features

This house was designed for a family home and will be part of the community for a long time. The

house is built with great materials, insulated so that heat loss is minimal. Blown insulation in the attic

utilizes recycled materials. The furnace and water heater are both energy star and highly efficient. The

water closets utilize water efficient materials like the toilet and faucets. The water use facilities and

appliances abide to LEED certification guidelines. Lighting will utilize florescent illumination for

additional energy savings.

New Construction Guidelines

Habitat for Humanity

These guidelines are subject to change and are presented for information only. These are subject to

building code requirements and are not considered specifications for any particular home.

Relevant Codes: Each house will conform to relevant codes and requirements of the city or

jurisdiction in which the house is built. This does not preclude a request for a variance if needed and

appropriate.

Principle of Habitat: Each house will conform in principle to the Habitat for Humanity standard of

simple and decent, deviating from that standard only as may be necessary. This means that HFH will

seek to avoid the “creeping affluence” that tends to increase amenities and cause prices of Habitat

houses to be inflated, and that the pre-unit costs of houses will be kept low to enable more families to

be served and more houses to be built.

Size of the House: The Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Family Services

Committee and Construction Committee, will approve the size of the house. Sizes of houses shall not

exceed the following limits unless special circumstances, such as code requirements, warrant an

increase. Appropriate adjustments in size should be made if a basement is constructed due to the

impacts of a loss of square footage due to the addition of a stairwell and an increase in square footage if

the water heater and HVAC unit are relocated to the basement.

Two-bedroom – 900 square feet

Three-bedroom – 1070 square feet

Four-bedroom – 1233 square feet

Type of Construction – General: The following describes types of construction and

components that normally will be used; however, alternative types of construction may be considered,

depending on circumstances:

Crawl space (4 ft deep) is the preferred choice, although slab on grade construction or full or partial

basements (8 ft deep) may be required due to specific site conditions. The Construction Committee

will make this determination based on the site conditions. In crawl space construction, access into

the crawl space will be provided from the exterior through an access panel in the foundation wall.

The access panel will be a minimum of 36 inches wide by 24 inches high.

Where basements are required, access will be provided from the interior of the house. In addition,

an exterior access will be provided to meet egress requirements.

Foundation drainage shall be provided. Drainage of the system shall be by gravity flow if the site

allows it; by sump pump if the site requires it.

Exterior wood frame wall construction will consist of 2X6 fully sheathed with ½-inch foam board

insulation.

Exterior concrete wall construction will conform to the systems manufacturer’s recommendations

for concrete wall construction.

Roof construction shall consist of trusses @ 16-inch centers with 7/16 OSB rated panels.

Roof pitch shall be approximately 5/12 (optimized to minimize waste) with gable ends.

Houses will not include a basement, a garage, or a carport unless required by city code, other

restrictions, family health needs, or neighborhood considerations

Accessibility: The following describes accessibility provisions to be incorporated in houses. Houses

will be constructed to conform to standards of “minimal accessibility” or better as described in the

current version of the HFHI booklet Accessible Housing Manual: construction and Environmental

Resources. The requirements include:

An accessible entrance with no steps and a porch or overhang.

Passage doors, including the full bathroom, will be 36 in. wide. If necessary, secondary bathroom

doors may be 32 in. wide.

All hallways will be 42 in. minimum frame to frame.

Kitchen will be designed to permit wheel chair maneuverability (5 ft diameter open area).

Wall reinforcing for grab bars in bathrooms. If the family requires grab bars in the bathrooms at the

time of selection, they will be installed during the initial construction.

At least one full bathroom must be accessible (meet accessibility standards).

Energy Efficiency: Houses will incorporate energy conservation features, making them as energy

efficient as practicable. Features of ENERGY STAR energy efficient houses are considered a model to be

emulated, not a standard to be achieved at this time.

Insulation: The following describe insulation to be provided.

Wood frame construction shall include exterior walls insulated to at least an R-19 value using

fiberglass batt insulation and ½ inch insulation foam.

R-38 blown-in insulation shall be used in ceilings.

Crawl spaces will be conditioned spaces. Insulation is not required between floor joists. Foundation

walls will be insulated with 2 in. “blue board” foam insulation glued to the crawl space walls. The

crawl space shall have a 6-mil vapor retarder installed in contact with the ground.

If a basement is provided, the foundation walls will be insulated with 2 in. “blue board” foam

insulation glued to the walls. A vapor barrier will be installed under the floor slab.

Doors and hardware: The following describes doors and hardware to be provided.

Two steel clad entry insulated doors will be provided. Both doors will be 3 ft - 0 in. The primary

entrance door shall be a 6-panel door with half-moon light.

Attic access shall be provided.

Windows: The following describes windows to be provided.

All windows shall be white, vinyl, single hung, tilt-in, low e double pane.

Screens shall be integral with the windows.

Every bedroom will have at least one window and meet minimum egress requirements, as required

by code.

A full bathroom must be accessible.

Two bedroom houses shall have one bathroom.

Three bedroom houses shall have 1-1/2 bathrooms.

Four bedroom houses (and larger) shall have 1-3/4 bathrooms.

A linen closet will be provided. A built-in linen closet will be used when possible if the floor plan

allows.

1. Innovative Process: I will meet with a bunch of experts to develop some ideas to make

the house greener.

2. Location and Transportation: The house will be located nearby multiple modes of

public transportation. There will also be a park nearby to allow for walking and biking.

3. Sustainable Site: The house will be built near many trees to allow for shade and

aesthetics. The house will have bioswales to route excess storm water away from where it

is not wanted.

4. Water Efficiency: There will be rain barrels so that there is minimal water waste.

5. Energy and Atmosphere: The house will be semi-powered by solar panels.

6. Materials and Resources: We will build the house using recycled materials, and any

leftover materials will be recycled. I will also talk to the contractor and discuss ways to

reduce site waste without changing any design aspects.

7. Indoor Environmental Quality: We will filter the air supply to make sure particles

aren’t continually recirculated. I will install and thermostat that uses sensors to make sure

the house is at the desired temperature. All doors will have weather stripping.

8. Innovation: I will meet with other engineers to come up with innovative solutions to

building issues.

9. Regional Priority: We will be aware of current environmental issues in the area and

ensure that we incorporate the surrounding environment into the plan.
