LISI Team Austria - Solar Decathlon 2013<h3>DRUMROLL PLEASE….....</h3> This past weekend <a href="http://inhabitat.com/team-austrias-lisi-solar-decathlon-home-keeps-cool-with-a-movable-exterior-curtain/">Team Austria</a>'s curtain-shrouded <a href="http://inhabitat.com/team-austrias-lisi-solar-decathlon-home-keeps-cool-with-a-movable-exterior-curtain/">LISI House</a> took first place in the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/solar-decathlon/">2013 Solar Decathlon</a>! The team's win comes as no surprise, as they leapt to the front of the pack early on by capturing big points in the <a href="http://www.solardecathlon.gov/contest_energy_balance.html">Energy Balance</a>, <a href="http://www.solardecathlon.gov/contest_communications.html">Communications</a>, and <a href="http://www.solardecathlon.gov/contest_market_appeal.html">Market Appeal</a> contests. The stunning net-zero home features an elegant and innovative moving curtain facade, a simple form, and a strong emphasis on creating a seamless space that combines outdoor and indoor living — and it's versatile enough for sunny California or the team's native land. The LISI House is one of 19 eco-friendly <a href="http://inhabitat.com/architecture/prefab-housing/">prefab homes</a> built by global architecture and engineering collegiate teams on the grounds of the <a href="http://www.ocgp.org/">Orange County Great Park</a> in Irvine, CA. The <a href="http://inhabitat.com/solar-decathlon/">biennial competition</a> challenges students to design and construct the most innovative, affordable, and attractive solar-powered prefab home for the 21st century. <h3><a href="http://inhabitat.com/team-austrias-lisi-solar-decathlon-home-keeps-cool-with-a-movable-exterior-curtain/">CONGRATULATIONS TO TEAM AUSTRIA ON YOUR WIN!</a></h3>1
