Santa Clara University's 2013 Solar Decathlon team helps Habitat for Humanity build houses to hammer out their construction skills.
For the Santa Clara University 2013 Solar Decathlon team, the challenge of building a solar house is testing more than just design and engineering skills. The U.S. Department of Energy’s biennial competition is putting the students in many roles they have never explored.
Santa Clara University hopes the third time will be the charm in one of the world's most prestigious competitions that determines the best designer and builder of a net-zero energy house.
