Element House at the Energy Farm

Project Description

The 2007 Solar Decathlon house is coming home to Champaign Urbana to a permanent  foundation  at the University  Energy  Farm. Funds  have been secured  for its transportation, placement on a permanent foundation, utility hook ups, and inspection of current systems to ensure safe working order. To upgrade the systems and bring the house up to code, funding must be secured for running new electrical, re-design and construction of the solar array, lighting, HVAC updates and monitoring equipment. Upon completion, the element house will be a great asset to the University with its state of the art high efficiency systems with monitoring technology. The primary goal of this project is to have a fully functioning net negative energy residential mod.el. To attain this goal, student groups will take on the design, construction, and monitoring tasks as they are fit to complete.
