Solar House in St. Paul

Posted by Kirk
3629304413_883025b386I just found out about an really cool opportunity on the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota. The solar house designed and built by students at the U of M as part of the Solar Decathalon will be on display and open to the public September 16-18, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. The house will be located at the University of Minnesota St. Paul campus on the north side of Buford Place just east of Gortner Avenue.

You can watch a video about the solar house on their website but they do not have an embedding function. I'm a little disappointed in my alma mater on that note. While the U of M does have a youtube channel that allows embedding of video they don't have this particular video on there.
