Solar Decathlon Kicks Off in Washington, DC


The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon began this week on the National Mall in Washington, DC. The Solar Decathlon is a competition among 20 college and university student teams to design, build, and operate the most attractive, effective and energy-efficient solar-powered house. The first Solar Decathlon was held in 2002, and the competition has since taken place in 2005, 2007, and 2009. The Solar Decathlon is open to the public and free of charge. Visitors can tour the houses, gather ideas to use in their own homes, and learn how energy-saving features can help them save money. ASHRAE serves as a supporting sponsor of the event.
