Santa Clara University Students Compete in the Solar Decathlon

The Solar Decathlon is a competition between 20 international (but mostly U.S.) universities to build a solar, green and sustainable house that could be practically duplicated for the marketplace. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, the contest requires teams to ship their entire house to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., for a weeklong, public exhibit, and to be judged on ten sustainable areas. We got the chance to check out the Santa Clara University team house before they shipped it to D.C. It was definitely inspiring to see students so passionate and excited about building sustainably. Here’s to hoping the Department of Energy will take queues from all these talented students building for the future.
