four canadian colleges join forces to create a small but spacious net-energy solar decathlon home that conjures up visions of the great outdoors.
for this solar decathlon team from houston, keeping its zero-energy home affordable and low maintenance were the primary goals.
the house isn't pretty, but its ada-compliant design and proven energy-efficient technologies shone brightly at the solar decathlon.
The main goal for Solar Decathlon team members from Rice University was to build a dwelling they could give back to their community.
This Solar Decathlon house was designed to face extreme temperatures: frigid, snow-filled winters and hot, humid summers.
