Well-wishers gathered August 12 for a look at the completed SURE HOUSE before it is disassembled and shipped to Irvine, California to compete in the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Decathlon 2015.
Eight engineering innovations in SURE HOUSE combine efficient energy use with storm-resistant construction to create a truly SUstainable and REsilient home.
A multi-disciplinary team of more than 30 graduate and undergraduate students — guided by Stevens faculty — worked together to make SURE HOUSE a reality.
Judged and scored in 10 categories, the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon will determine which house best blends affordability, consumer appeal and design excellence with optimal energy production and maximum efficiency.
Nearly 40 educators from throughout New Jersey participated in a week-long workshop developing SURE HOUSE-inspired lesson plans to bring back to their local schools.

SURE HOUSE on Instagram 7/29/15: "With all the finishes that we're slowly putting on, and now that we're actually starting to use it like a house, you begin to just realize that it's not just this construction site that you come to and leave. It's something that's going to be home for us for awhile; something that we’ve put a lot of work into." - Elise P., Decathlete #SUREspirit#SUREHOUSE#stevenstech #solardecathlon
