  • Solar Decathlon 2009: North House, ceiling bed!
    We've been bringing you breaking coverage of this week's Solar Decathlon in Washington DC throughout the week and one of the most interesting homes to emerge from the competition is the <strong>North House</strong>, a super sleek, high-tech solar powered home designed to generate more energy than it consumes - an especially impressive feat granted that the home was designed for the extreme climate of Northern Canada. Currently in 4th place at the Decathlon, Team Ontario/BC is exhibiting an incredibly impressive showing. With two days left of the competition, they still have a good chance to eek out some more points in the categories of Engineering, Lighting and the biggie, Net Metering, which could still put them in the lead.
