Community Involvement
Habitat for Humanity (November 18-19, 2010): 
Envinity spent two days installing insulation on a Habitat for Humanity home in State College, donating manpower, time, and equipment for the project.
Envinity has forged a partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Centre County in which warehouse space is exchanged for labor and materials. Envinity borrows warehouse space from Habitat for Humanity, and in exchange, we donate our experienced construction crew every 2-3 months for work on Habitat homes.
Solar Decathlon, March 2009:
Envinity provided local eastern white pine timbers and helped design the timber frame structure for Penn State’s entry in the Solar Decathlon. The timber frame was built and designed by Penn State student Dan Reynolds, Penn State student Kyle Macht (who is now an Energy Engineer with Envinity), and Jerry Learn, Envinity Director of Construction Services. It is the main structural element of the home.
The Solar Decathlon is a biannual, international competition sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy to inspire students and faculty to design, build, and operate an entirely solar-powered home.
Shaver’s Creek New Information Kiosk, April 2008:The New Information Kiosk at Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center originated as part of an exhibit booth for the Builder’s Association of Central PA 2008 Home Show, and was donated by Envinity to Shaver’s Creek. Made of local white pine, a soft wood that is abundant throughout the region and easy to work with, the frame replaced an aging information kiosk. |
