  • CUSD, Cornell University Solar Decathlon House, Cornell Solar Decathlon Home, Cornell Zero-Energy House, Zero Energy Home, Zero Energy Home Design, Independence Energy Homes, Eco design build, green design-build firm, David Wax, Emile Chin-Dickey, Stephanie Horowitz, Benjamin Uyeda, Jordan Goldman, photovoltaics, solar powered house, cornell solar house
    When Cornell students David Wax, Emile Chin-Dickey, Stephanie Horowitz, Benjamin Uyeda, and Jordan Goldman set out trying to create an off-the-grid solar-powered home for the biennial Solar Decathlon Competition, little did they know that their efforts would launch their careers as gurus of Zero-Energy design. The Solar Decathlon, which is held on the mall in Washington DC every two years -- and kicks off again tomorrow! -- is a green design-build competition where student teams compete to see who can create the most energy efficient solar house. The Cornell students’ cleverly designed home was so smart and energy efficient that it took second prize in 2005's prestigious competition, inspiring the group to start their own business dedicated to designing zero energy homes.
