The Solar Futures is part of the Solar Decathlon design competition. It began in the spring semester in January of 2022. Its was broken down into 3 parts. The design phase, construction phase and completion phase. I became a member during the construction phase in the fall of 2022. This project is a single family housing unit that will be a dorm for a Woodbury University student. This unit consist of 3D printing technology, solar panels and a special concrete mix to reduce the CO2 in the air.
