Solar Decathlon tour for California alumni
Join Paul Chesser, Chief Development Officer, and Carleton alumni in California to see the future of net-zero housing.
Team Ontario (students from Carleton University, Algonquin College and Queen’s University) is competing in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon competition with ECHO — the ultra-compact, net-zero, solar-powered home they’ve designed and built over the past 18 months.
The competition runs for 10 days in October. For the first time ever, Ontario institutions number among the 20 teams, winnowed down from dozens of applicants worldwide, that are vying for first place. That honour will go to the house that best blends affordability, consumer appeal and design excellence with optimal energy production and efficiency.
Join us for a tour of the house and then for a reception nearby with complimentary drinks and snacks.
