PJHM is excited to spread the word about the upcoming 2013 Solar Decathlon, taking place at the Great Park in Irvine, California October 3rd-13th. University teams worldwide are participating in this biennial competition of solar home design. Schools design, build and operate solar homes, and compete to be the most cost-effective, energy-efficient and attractive designs. Affordability blended with design excellence – what a great combination!
Perhaps Ofelia from our PJHM Laguna Hills office, a former Solar Decathlon participant for Sci-Arc can give us a tour; no pressure Ofelia!
You’ll have the opportunity to tour the houses, gather ideas and learn about innovative energy saving sustainable strategies. Don’t miss this.
