Green Talk takes a look at the BeauSoleil Home
Bloggers at Green-Talk.com are talking about UL Lafayette's TEAM BeauSoleil and its entry into the 2009 Solar Decathlon.
Included:
"What makes the Ragin’ Cajuns’ home so unique is that the students took their first hand experiences of the ravages of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita to help design their coastal home."
The blogger goes on to list some of the features of the BeauSoleil Home:
"Generates more energy than it consumes. Totally solar powered.
Withstands hurricane-force winds
State-of-the-art kitchen for entertaining and cooking. According to the University, “good conversation and great food are important elements of Louisiana.”
Attractive and affordable housing, ranging from $120,000 to $150,000
Self-sufficient housing that is especially ideal for coastal regions
Wide exterior porches for social interaction and entertaining
For updates on how this team does during the Decathlon, follow them on their Facebook page."
