SOLAR DECATHLON HOUSE

Blacksburg, VA, 2006-2010

The Lumenhaus was an interdisciplinary design/build project conducted at Virginia Tech, designed for entry into the 2009 Solar Decathlon competition. It was bound to the requirements of being under 800ft2 and able to generate 100% of its own energy exclusively from the sun. My involvement ranged from the beginning of the project in 2006 until the construction process in 2009, working for pay for two summers and for credit for 4 semesters.
