Student teams are challenged to integrate aesthetics and modern conveniences with maximum energy production and optimal efficiency. Each team will build a uniquely designed 500-ft2 -- 800-ft2 house. Solar decathletes will transport their houses to the National Mall in Washington D.C. for the competition in the fall of 2002. Each house will incorporate renewable energy features such as: solar - passive, solar - photovoltaics, solar - thermal. http://www.eren.doe.gov/solar_decathlon/
