P3 Awards
Two Drexel Smart House projects have went on to win $75,000 grants from the Environmental Protection Agency through the P3 program. Both the Cool Roof Coatings and Lightweight Green Roof projects have won this money to be used for further development and marketing for their projects.

The organization was nominated in the Educational Case Study Category for its student-led, multidisciplinary appoach to developing a sustainable model for urban residential living and entrepreneurial innovation.
