Description: Last October, the U.S. Department of Energy hosted the Solar Decathlon. The competition featured a "solar village" of 20 zero-energy homes built by university teams from schools of architecture and engineering across North America and Europe. For nine days, the National Mall was a living laboratory demonstrating the powerful combination of solar energy, energy efficiency, and the best in home design. One of the driving forces behind the Solar Decathlon, Richard King, will discuss the results of the Decathlon, the lesson's learned, its role in research and development, and what to look forward to in the future.
