Aggie Solar Decathlon house gets new life as 'SU CASA' in SA's Mission Verde Center

The Texas A&M College of Architecture's Solar Decathlon groHome, an Aggie-designed residence powered by the sun, is the centerpiece of San Antonio's new Mission Verde Center @ Cooper, a multipurpose education, training and research center for renewable and energy-efficient technologies, water management and conservation.

Now dubbed "SU CASA," for Sustainable Urban Center for the Advancement of San Antonio, the home will be used as a demonstration and hands-on teaching tool.

A dedication for the home in its new surroundings took place Jan. 25, 2010.

The center will be operated by the Texas Center for Applied Technology, which operates within the College Station-based Texas Engineering Experiment Station, the engineering research agency of the state of Texas.
