There's a bi-annual international competition sponsored by the U.S. Dept. of Energy and the Renewable Energy Laboratory. It's called the Solar Decathlon and it promotes the use of solar power by inviting teams of architecture students to design, build and operate energy efficient solar powered houses. Carol Pack reports on a house built right here on Long Island by the New York Institute of Technology.

  • Such harsh comments! It's merely a sketch. Things that this totally net zero demand home have like SIPS panels, solar panels, and sustainable materials are becoming more and more common place in today's architecture. Although not used in "typical" projects to the advanced level as was done here, these systems help us save energy and money too. The whole idea is to make a home that is economical, while being as little an impact to the environment as possible. Nothing wrong with that!

  • simple cob/straw house with wood burning stove is 20X cheaper and 100x greener.

  • @ReddsMorris the IDEA is shit but fashionable aka "GREEN". But is not green at all :) so why this team win. 

  • :D what a retards :)

  • Too many engineers on this project. $300,000 for an 800 sq ft home. Go back to the drawing board.
