Be the first to see it in person!Date: Thu, 06 Sep 2007 14:29:04 -0400WELCOME TO THE HOME OF THE FUTURE!You’re invited to an exclusive, one-time only, tour of Lawrence Tech’s much talked about Solar HomeThursday, September 20, 20074:30-8:00 p.m.Lawrence Technological University, Southfield, Mich.Don’t just read about it in the papers, or watch it on television. Be the first to see it in person--Lawrence Technological University’s (LTU) solar-powered, energy-positive home. After many months of hard work, LTU students and faculty are getting ready to dazzle Congressional leaders in Washington, DC with the result of their "Solar Decathlon" project-an energy-efficient home they built piece by piece. But before heating up Washington, The Engineering Society of Detroit (ESD) and LTU are inviting you to get a sneak peak at this 700 square feet of living space that will use the sun to generate all the power needed for heating, cooling, lighting and appliance, as well as enough power left over to operate a small electric vehicle. As an added bonus, members of LTU’s team ALOeTERRA will give attendees a brief presentation about the home.The house will be dismantled at the end of September, shipped to Washington, DC and then reassembled for the October 12-20 Solar Decathlon competition. Lawrence Tech is one of just 20 universities across the globe and the only one in Michigan, chosen to take part in the Solar Decathlon competition sponsored by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, which is part of the U.S. Department of Energy. The event will kickoff at 5:00 p.m. with a networking opportunity, followed by a brief presentation and a tour of the house. Cost is $20 per person and includes pizza and soft drinks. ESD will donate a portion of the proceeds to LTU’s Solar Home Decathlon team. SPACE IS LIMITED.
