Tour the Cutting Edge of Resiliency and Sustainability Built By Stevens’ Students

8/9/2015

Hoboken, NJ - Ribbon cutting and open house for SURE HOUSE, an environmentally sustainable, resilient house for coastal communities – one that could better withstand a storm the size of Hurricane Sandy. The SURE House will serve as Stevens’ entry into the Solar Decathlon, a biennial competition sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy which challenges teams from the world’s most prestigious institutions to design, build, and operate solar-powered houses that are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and attractive. Following the Open House, the home will be transported to California for the actual Solar Decathlon competition (October 8-18).
WHEN/WHERE:              
Wednesday, August 12, 2015 at 3 p.m.
A ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at 3:30
Media are welcome to come earlier


WHERE:                              
Solar Decathlon SURE HOUSE Lot Adjacent to the Griffith Building (600 Sinatra Drive, Hoboken, NJ)

BACKGROUND:                
Designed to meet the needs of middle and working class residents who live in the coastal areas of New Jersey and New York, the design of the SURE HOUSE takes into account the new flood maps issued by FEMA in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, as well as the economic feasibility of innovative approaches to building in these neighborhoods.

Features of the home include:
·         Built with fiber-composite materials that have been repurposed from the boat building industry.  The result is a building armored against extreme weather.
·         Bi-folding storm shutters, made with a composite foam core and wrapped with fiberglass, are installed to shade the home throughout the year and act as the primary defensive barrier against debris and water during inclement weather.
·         Use of self-generated clean solar power, using 90 percent less energy than conventional homes.
·         Ability to act as a hub of emergency power for surrounding neighborhoods, in the aftermath of a storm.

Remember, some people will want to sit and eat, while others may want to eat while standing and socializing.

In your daily life, you likely don't need wide walkways and uncluttered tables, but these can cause a mess or create a tripping hazard during your party if you're not careful.
