RIT on TV News: Habitat House Video

WUHF-TV (Fox Rochester) reports on a "wall raising ceremony" for the sustainable Habitat for Humanity house being constructed by members of the Rochester Institute of Technology community.

Students from RIT took some time out of class to get some hands-on experience. They helped build a Habitat for Humanity home in the JOSANA neighborhood in Rochester. The home is being built with a green design, that includes an efficient system to heat the home.

David Lihn: The plan was to make some simple, cost-effective changes to make it sustainable, just like design changes as how the sun hits the roof.

To sponsor a Habitat home,it costs $75,000 and RIT is raising all that money. Construction on the home is expected to be done in February.
