USF Building a Solar House You Might Live in Soon
The University of South Florida (USF) is exploring the cutting-edge of Florida housing by building a solar house, competing to win in the U.S. Solar Decathlon to build the most energy efficient house.
More than 50 students and faculty members from universities across Florida will help design, engineer, plan and build the solar house which is a mixture of modern green energy technology and simple cooling techniques used in Florida homes before air conditioning became the norm.
If everything works as planned, the house will generate as much energy as it uses and will be affordable and easy to build.
Who knows, your next home might be a solar house!
