RIT's Habitat for Humanity, Engineers for a Sustainable World, and President Destler are working to build the very first completely RIT funded Habitat home. This house will not only give a local Rochester family in need a place they can call their own, but also provide them with a uniquely sustainable, energy efficient home. The house design will help benefit the environment and will decrease the cost of living in the house, a very important aspect for low-income families. The Sustainable Habitat House project is completely student run with guidance provided by various RIT staff and Rochester Flower City Habitat members. We hope the design innovations pioneered by our students will be used as a model for future Habitat homes.
