University of Calgary: Canada's Team Ready to Send Eco-House to Washington, D.C.
(firmenpresse) - CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/15/11 -- Construction is now complete on the University of Calgary's entry in the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Decathlon 2011 competition. The only Canadian entry in this year's competition, University of Calgary students have designed a safe, durable net-zero solar powered home that addresses critical issues in Aboriginal housing, in collaboration with the Treaty 7 First Nations of Southern Alberta.
Called Cenovus-TRTL: Technological Residence Traditional Living (TRTL - pronounced "turtle"), the house will now be shipped to National Mall in Washington D.C. to be put on display for the competition (September 23 - October 2, 2011). The TRTL project is the University of Calgary's second entry in the Solar Decathlon, which is held every two years to showcase clean-energy solutions.
The team will host a send-off ceremony on Wednesday August 17 at 5 p.m. to recognize its sponsors and to officially bless the house for its 4000-kilometre journey to Washington, D.C. Media are welcome during the ceremony and also during the day (11 a.m. - 1 p.m.) for photo opportunities and interviews with team members.
