Solar Decathlon Features Innovation, Municipal Day and More

摘要

The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon, an international competition of solar-powered, energy-efficient homes designed by teams of college students, is coming to Southern California. About 800 students from 20 collegiate teams compete to design, build and operate the most energy-efficient, affordable and attractive solar house. The houses are built on-site and open to the public. The college students competing in the Solar Decathlon comprise aspiring engineers, architects, clean-energy entrepreneurs, urban planners and homebuilders. The teams also provide inspiration for youth interested in pursuing similar career paths.
