From Mary Morrison & Rick Anderson at Bainbridge Graduate Institute:
On a beautiful fall day in the Nation’s Capitol, we discovered the solar decathlon. This is an annual event pitting 18 universities, national and international, against each other in designing the best solar home. The University of Colorado at Denver and Boulder defended their title for the second year. But as the students will tell you, it’s an event where everyone wins.
The tour stop in DC was in the perfect setting. The Mall, the park area sandwiched between the Washington Monument and the Capitol steps was an ideal setting to demonstrate the ingenuity, practicality and creativity of young minds interested in transforming the building industry to utilize the earth’s access to natural energy sources, as well as using green building materials and water saving landscaping. Perhaps the political professionals took notice that the future of the building industry is taking heed to the ample and free source of power, the Sun.
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy is the primary sponsor.
