The affordability contest was one of the key contests Team Aggie Sol focused on and the results are in.... WE TIED FOR FIRST PLACE! The Aggie Sol House came in at an estimated $249,312 for a 2 bedroom, 1 bath (+mud room) ZNE house!

We are also proud to say we've worked with a few large home builders and with a few tweaks we know we could shave at least another $50k off the house cost! If you ask us, that's a pretty cheap designer sustainable house!

The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon challenges 20 collegiate teams to design, build, and operate solar-powered houses that are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and attractive. The winner of the competition is the team that best blends affordability, consumer appeal, and design excellence…

The University of California, Davis, has strong pedigrees in both sustainable projects and agricultural research. So even though 2015 marks the school’s first, the team has drawn from a tradition of innovation and pride in its identity to create its entry “Aggie Sol.”

If you've walked through our house you will have seen our beam detail at the mod line - but what you did not see what the LED mood lighting tucked in there. Yesterday our team members were having fun playing with all the different color options!
