Upon graduation, three Netherlands architecture students decided to build a sustainable household prototype for people in low-income areas. The prototype would then educate the people on the various methods they can adapt into their own homes to make it more sustainable. One of their main focuses was to ensure a low base cost of the retrofits so that most people would be able to afford them. One other consideration was to ensure the feasibility of each retrofit, ensuring that anyone and everyone could do it. A specific initiative was to teach people on the installation of insulation, reducing the overall energy consumed. In order for this to get publicity, partnerships with local communities were forged. One overall plan is to make this initiative to the next level by getting universities to incorporate such plans into their curriculum. This would enable students in different countries to adopt this mindset and help the people in need in their own communities.
