The SDH began in 2016 as a project by the Alternative Energy Enterprise with the goal of retrofitting a 1950s house owned by the University into a net-zero energy, zero-waste house. Since then, the house has been equipped with a 8.6 kWh solar array, two composting systems, aquaponics, hydroponics, a rain barrel, energy-efficient appliances, low-flow faucets, LED lights, and a bee hive. In addition, the tenants of the house strive to educate the community on sustainability through open houses, workshops, tours, the Waste Reduction Drive, and many other initiatives.
