The Solar Decathlon October 9-13, 15-18 joins 20 college and university teams in a competition to design, build, and operate the most attractive and energy-efficient solar-powered house.  The Solar Decathlon brings attention to one of the biggest challenges we face—an ever-increasing need for energy. As an internationally recognized event, it offers powerful solutions—using energy more efficiently and using energy from renewable sources.  Held only every two years, it is also an event to which the public is invited to observe the powerful combination of solar energy, energy efficiency, and the best in home design.   There is no charge for the event and the homes are open for tours to the public where you can meet the team members or listen to skilled docents discuss the various aspects of the Decathalon.
