DESCRIPTION

Cornell is one of only twenty universities around the world (and the only one in NY) selected to participate in the 2009 Solar Decathlon Competition. Through this competition, the student-led team will design, finance, build, transport, and showcase their 100% solar-powered house on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. in October 2009.
