Shifting gears again today after discovering the Solar Decathlon on the mall. Heading down there for this last day of the event to gather more info for our mondo beyondo bahama project. The Solar Decathlon is a contest of what college team can build the most solar efficient home. The last week was spent in the assemblage of these homes up and down the mall. Judging was yesterday and today is the last day to view, so we are dropping our normal weekend projects to go do some research, touchy feely style. It is one thing to pour through books, quite another to walk through a real live building. Bonus: University of Maryland won second place.
Maybe we should have students build our retreat.
