this video is part of a series of four videos (walkthrough<\/a>, market appeal, architecture<\/a>, and engineering) submitted to the department of energy for the competition. to see the rest of the videos, visit our planet forward ideas page<\/a>. this video highlights the engineering features of self-reliance, team middlebury’s solar decathlon home. from recycled cellulose insulation to reusing condensation to water the plants, the systems of self-reliance are designed to be simple and efficient, while allowing a family to interact with and learn from the technology. this summer the middlebury solar decathlon is building a small, 100% solar-powered home that will compete in the us department of energy solar decathlon 2011 competition. the solar decathlon is a biennial green-building competition that brings together 20 collegiate teams from all over the country and world to showcase their solar homes on the national mall in washington d.c. this competition is one of the most ambitious and inspiring events in the country, as it challenges these teams to demonstrate inventive clean-energy solutions, feature cost-effective and energy-efficient construction, and incorporate energy-saving appliances and renewable energy systems within their 100% solar-powered homes. team middlebury\u2019s home, \u201cself-reliance,\u201d strives to do all this as it reinvents the iconic new england farmhouse, integrating today\u2019s efficient technologies into a home for a vermont family of four. it is our belief that living sustainably can be facilitated by beautiful, comfortable, and practical design. when architecture and technology are used wisely together to utilize the power of the sun and other renewable energy resources, our impact on this earth is greatly reduced. as we construct our solar-powered home this summer we hope to offer a sustainable solution to life in the 21st century. we invite you to follow our construction progress over the next 12 weeks via the weekly videos we will be posting with planet forward. it is our hope to extend this learning opportunity to a greater community beyond middlebury, and inspire others to turn to sustainable design practices as well. please stay tuned! for more information about the middlebury solar decathlon team, please visit http:\/\/solardecathlon.middlebury.edu\/<\/a><\/p>\n
