The biennial Solar Decathlon is in full-swing this week.  Teams from the US and four other countries are competing in ten categories to determine who has constructed the most energy efficient, cost-effective, and attractive house.  While energy efficiency is important, teams also compete in categories such as affordability and market appeal to demonstrate that their ideas could be readily incorporated into the marketplace.  Some of these contests are based on measured results, while others are juried and more subjective.  For instance, to do well in the home entertainment category, teams must host 2 dinner parties and a movie night for their neighbors and are graded on everything from the ambiance to the quality of the meal!  Recipes are posted on each team’s page, with some including the number of kWh required to prepare the meal.
