Delta T90

In 2012 Norwich University asked us to be a part of their Solar Decathlon Project. The Solar Decathlon is a country wide collegiate competition where student teams design and build full-size, solar powered homes. The homes are then judged on 10 categories ranging from Architecture to Energy Use to Affordability.

2013

In 2013 we built the core building envelope for them (framing, mechanical rough in, insulation, sheathing, sheetrock). We then transported the modules to Norwich University in Northfield, VT where the students installed all interior and exterior finishes. Students then transported the home to California for the competition. After the competition Norwich sold the home to the Frank Lloyd Wright Wescott House in Springfield, Ohio. The home is still there.

The Norwich team tied for first place in Affordability. They took first place in Energy Balance. And overall took 12th place in the competition.
