Sea Island Habitat for Humanity is showcasing "their transition to green building in a new development located on Wadmalaw Island."

Here's more details from their press release:
All new homes will be constructed using techniques outlined by EarthCraft, which covers site planning, energy efficiency, sustainable materials, and indoor air quality.

The property, donated by a local family on the island, requested that the new village "McCloud Place" be built with as little impact to the land as possible. ...
