The
Cornell University Solar Decathlon (CUSD) Team consists
of over 70 graduate and undergraduate students from numerous
academic backgrounds, including architecture, business,
and engineering. The team has a common goal of researching,
designing, constructing, and exhibiting a self-sustaining,
solar living system designed to exceed the expectations
of the Solar Decathlon Competition.
This solar living system will:
-
Transcend
previous implementation of current technologies politically,
environmentally, architecturally, and mechanically;
-
Employ
the pinnacle of evolving technology to maximize the
social and environmental impact toward our sustainable
goals; and
-
Create
a symbiotic relationship between the comfort, beauty,
logic, and educational value inherent in every detail.
The
CUSD team hopes that its participation in the Solar
Decathlon Competition will promote awareness of energy-efficient
innovations and will facilitate the technical, political,
and cultural transition towards environmental sustainability
and renewable energy.
