Our
design objectives are outlined by the five items below:
-
To win the Solar Decathlon competition by
surpassing the standards and constraints
as set forth in the Solar Decathlon guidelines.
-
To
maximize our positive impact on humanity
by encouraging sustainability in scientific,
social, economic, and political contexts.
-
To research, design, and construct a living
system that embodies the concepts of overall
system integration and optimization.
-
To educate industry, academia, legislators,
and ourselves about sustainable living systems
and strategies.
-
To achieve financial feasibility by keeping
the repeatable construction cost of our
home competitive with current market values.
|
These
objectives guide us when we approach conflicts and tradeoffs
in our design process. |
