MCLA is helping to sponsor Team Capitol DC, a city-wide Washington, DC collegiate team, that will be competing in the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon. The Solar Decathlon is an award-winning program that challenges collegiate teams to design, build, and operate solar-powered houses that are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and attractive. Team Capitol DC’s concept is HARVEST HOME, an innovative house of the future that harvests natural resources to power the home while maintaining comfort for its ideal resident, a wounded American veteran who has returned from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Find out more about the Decathlon and HARVEST HOME at Team Capitol DC’s website: http://www.teamcapitoldc.org
