Ale and Drew’s Home

Alessandra and Drew made the decision to incorporate solar energy as well as other energy efficiency and sustainable features when they renovated their home in West Village. “So many people see our solar panels and say ‘What is that?’ or ‘I see you’re generating electricity and I’d like to do that, too,'” says Carreon. “It’s a conversation starter and visible symbol that people notice.” In May 2016, Eco-D, an initiative formed to help Detroit neighborhoods become “great and green,” named West Village one of the first Eco Districts in the city.
