Whirlpool Corporation and Habitat for Humanity Continue BuildBetter With Whirlpool Program
Whirlpool Foundation has renewed its support for the BuildBetter with Whirlpool program, committing $2.5M over the next two years to help Habitat for Humanity build energy-efficient homes. The program will construct 50 net-zero-energy-ready homes, focusing on climate resilience and energy efficiency. The initiative's first phase, launched in 2021, will complete over 260 homes by end of 2024, achieving 45% predicted energy cost savings per family and 15% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per home. The program aims to help homeowners reduce operating costs through improved energy efficiency while demonstrating that energy-efficient homes aren't exclusive to the luxury market.
La Fondazione Whirlpool ha rinnovato il suo sostegno per il programma BuildBetter with Whirlpool, impegnando 2,5 milioni di dollari nei prossimi due anni per aiutare Habitat for Humanity a costruire abitazioni energie-efficienti. Il programma costruirà 50 case pronte per l'energia netta zero, concentrandosi sulla resilienza climatica e sull'efficienza energetica. La prima fase dell'iniziativa, avviata nel 2021, completerà oltre 260 case entro la fine del 2024, raggiungendo un risparmio energetico previsto del 45% per famiglia e una riduzione del 15% delle emissioni di gas serra per ogni abitazione. Il programma mira ad aiutare i proprietari di case a ridurre i costi operativi attraverso un miglioramento dell'efficienza energetica, dimostrando al contempo che le case energie-efficienti non sono esclusive del mercato del lusso.

"We are thrilled to continue our work with Habitat on the BuildBetter with Whirlpool program," said Pam Klyn, executive vice president for corporate relations and sustainability for Whirlpool Corporation. "We're learning from the data collected to date and evolving the program to build homes that are even more efficient in the next two years. This project truly demonstrates that creating energy efficient homes isn't just for the luxury market."
The first commitment of the BuildBetter with Whirlpool program, which launched in 2021 and will be completed later this year, encouraged local Habitat affiliates to build above local code to meet higher energy and resilience standards. It also focused on research and collaboration to establish a more accurate baseline to measure sustainable building standards across the construction industry. By the end of 2024, more than 260 energy efficient and climate resilient homes will be constructed across the U.S., resulting in an average 45 percent predicted energy cost savings per family, as well as a 15 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per home. The second commitment of the initiative will begin in early 2025.
"Whirlpool Corporation has been an instrumental partner in helping us improve and broaden the ways we can help more families achieve housing stability," said Charlita Stephens-Walker, vice president of corporate partnerships and cause marketing at Habitat for Humanity International.

About Habitat for Humanity
Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity found its earliest inspirations as a grassroots movement on an interracial community farm in south Georgia. Since its founding in 1976, the Christian housing organization has since grown to become a leading global nonprofit working in local communities across all 50 states in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and more than 70 countries. Families and individuals in need of a hand up partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. Through financial support, volunteering or adding a voice to support affordable housing, everyone can help families achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves. Through shelter, we empower. To learn more, visit habitat.org.
