Austria wins top honors at Solar Decathlon

摘要

Collegiate teams from 19 universities from around the world opened their solar-powered houses to the public in early October as the U.S. Department of Energy's biennial Solar Decathlon kicked off at the Orange County Great Park here. This was the first time that the Solar Decathlon was held here in a terrific location at what used to be the El Toro Marine Air Station. The contest had previously been held at the National Mall in Washington, but the Great Park looks like it's a superior location-no shortage of space and endless sunshine.
