Who are we?

The Solar Decathlon is a competition for college students worldwide to find new and unique ways to improve the building practices put on by the U.S. Department of Energy.

 

We are a group of engineering and construction management students at Brigham Young University participating in this program. Our goal is to implement sustainable building practices into construction while finding ways to make the home cheaper and more affordable.

 

We will be building a single-family home here in Utah, which will save on cost, save on energy, and reflect on native-American culture. We believe that more can be accomplished for less if we start building homes with  newer techniques in the construction industry.

 

Designs will be approved in April and we will break ground this summer.
