UC Solar Decathlon
 

The Finish



Kevin Brosnahan of the DOE estimated that over 100,000 people showed up to visit this year's Solar Decathlon, a testament to the public's growing interest in all things green. Saturday, the final day for house tours, the crowd was thick, and the lines - especially at winners' houses - longer than ever.



Luckily for everyone, the weather was beautiful. Saturday night UC's [re]form team began deconstruction of the house. I think everyone agrees that our team worked extremely hard on this house, and established UC as a world-class university that is absolutely dedicated to furthering itself innovatively and collaboratively. As Nancy Zimpher said Friday night, "This is what UC 21 is about."

UC's Journalism team was extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to go and report on something like the Solar Decathlon. We had our challenges, but overall I think we would do it again in a heartbeat.



Thanks, Elissa.
