College Students Rehab Home To Energy Star Certification Students of the South Suburban College Building Construction Technology Program recently completed an energy-efficient construction rehab project of a dilapidated home in Lansing, Illinois, that was uninhabited and had tested positive for lead. Students did all of the construction on the home including gutting, rebuilding, and everything thereafter that is required to get the house move-in ready while achieving their goal to put it back together adhering to Energy Star and IRC 2009 energy code standards. SSC worked in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity, the Village of Lansing and using energy efficient building envelope products donated by Dow Building Solutions. Dow Building Solutions has partnered with Habitat for Humanity for the past 27 years, while SSC has been involved with building and rehabbing 18 homes since 1990, including six new houses in Phoenix, two homes in Dolton and three in Calumet City under the auspices of local housing authorities, and eight homes with Habitat for Humanity since 1996—one in Hazel Crest, two in Dixmoor, three in Harvey, and now two in Lansing. “We were very excited for the opportunity to have our construction students to work on another energy-efficient home in Lansing,” said Jacque Martin, SSC Trustee and Lansing

resident. “They always do such wonderful work, but this home is unique in that it represents a special level of energy efficiency that is obvious immediately when you walk inside. Burnham Avenue is a busy road and it is absolute quietness inside this house. I commend the students and instructors for taking on this challenge and seeing it through for our community.” The completed project is located at 17505 Burnham Avenue, in Lansing, Illinois. SSC has already contracted with Lansing to complete two more energy efficient rehabs at nearby locations. “These home constructions enhance our community while getting SSC students the hands-on experience of constructing a home–it’s truly a win-win for everyone involved,” said Tony DeFilippo, SSC Trustee. “Our Board is very proud of the high quality of homes our students have produced in our area for many years now.” South Suburban College offers a 68-hour Associate Degree track, and the following basic certificates designed to provide specialized training in specific areas: Building Rehabilitation, New Residential Construction, Home Maintenance, Construction Supervision & Management, and General Contracting.
