UL's BeauSoleil House Has New Website

If you aren't familiar with the project, a team of UL students and teachers are working on a really cool assignment. They are designing an energy efficient, solar powered home that will be able to create more energy than it uses, protect occupants from hurricanes, and capture it's own water, solar and wind power. After 2 years of planning and building, the project will compete this October in the US Department of Energy Solar Decathlon in Washington, DC. They are calling the project BeauSoleil - Louisiana Solar Home and they have a new website where you can read all about the program, donate to the cause, read their monthly newsletters and see photos of the progress. They also have a really great Facebook page with many photos and updates. Great job guys!
