Habitat for Humanity ReStore Accepts Large Material Donation from Winner of "Sustainable Project of the Year" Award.

Online, June 7, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Actus Lend Lease, winner of the "Sustainable Project of the Year" award for 2011, made a large donation to Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County's ReStore. Actus selected the ReStore for its sustainability mission and community impact. The donation consisted of paneled doors, double pane vinyl windows, wood trim and molding, hanging and ceiling mounted light fixtures, light bulbs, screen doors, metal kick plates, door sweeps, recessed canned lights, and much more.

"We can't stress enough how valuable commercial donors are to the ReStore and Habitat mission. The Actus' donation was exceptional, quality inventory that will be passed to our customers at a discounted price. The ReStore anticipates building two of the four homes slated for the 2011 build season. This donation will also increase our capacity to build more homes next year," says ReStore manager, Kathryn Norbeck-Dayley.

Actus Lend Lease's Campbell Crossing project team at Fort Campbell, KY was the recipient of the Platinum Award for the Zero Energy Homes (ZEH) presented as part of the 'Build Tennessee' Awards, which recognizes firms for their excellence in serving the construction community of Tennessee. The zero energy homes at Campbell Crossing feature a design approach focused on energy efficiency and solar thermal energy production, resulting in a home that functions on 54 percent less energy than a home of comparable size constructed using today's building standards. The Zero Energy Homes of Campbell Crossing represent the first zero energy homes constructed on a military installation and the first known zero energy duplex in the United States. Norbeck says, "The ReStore is excited that a builder so in line with the ReStore mission of Recycle, Reuse, Reduce, and Rebuild chose us to benefit from such a windfall donation."

Actus project engineer, Barbie Downing said, "We think it's important to understand and contribute to the communities in which we operate. There are many outstanding programs in the Clarksville/Ft. Campbell area that we are proud to be involved with. The Restore not only benefits the local community, but also creates a more sustainable environment by salvaging materials for reuse while simultaneously diverting construction waste from landfills. Partnerships with organizations that parallel Lend Lease core values of Respect, Integrity, Innovation, Collaboration, Excellence and Trust creates a win-win for each party as well as the local community in which we serve."

To make room for the new inventory, the ReStore will hold door sale from June 4 to June 11. The doors will be an additional 30% off (some restrictions may apply). Donated inventory can be viewed on the ReStore website, www.clarksvillerestore.org.
