The heat is on (literally) in Madrid at the Solar Decathlon, and the students reppin' the School of Architecture of the Vallès (ETSAV) are bringing their A-game to the competition with their house, the LOW3. The solar house is named for the fact that it is low energy and low impact, but it differentiates itself by touting that it's also low cost (an attribute that people don't typically associate with green technology). In keeping with that vein, the design of the house is utilitarian, without any frills or distractions from its goal of energy efficiency. Is the LOW3 your favorite house? Let us know in the comments below!
