Big Event - Solar Decathlon in the US
Dear Friends, IPC Team members, tomorrow we are going to Denver, Colorado to take part in preparations for Solar Decathlon - https://www.solardecathlon.gov/. This is a grat event hosted by US Department of Energy. Many teams will present their energy efficient houses to show which is the best. We have partied with Northwestern University: http://www.northwestern.house/ The HBN team is designing and building a house that combines modern construction practices and energy efficiency with features our potential homebuyers have told us they want.The result will be a sustainable home that is well-adapted for the extreme seasons of the Chicago climate and minimizes the impact on the surrounding environment. Our house is named Enable, which stands for two of our core tenets: Energized, which refers both to energy-efficiency and an active lifestyle, and Adaptable, which means this is a house that can fit many roles. Enable will be 90% more energy efficient than the average home in Evanston. So stay tuned for more thrilling content, Jirka
