Made With STILE: 2015 Solar Decathlon

And the 2015 Solar Decathlon houses are open! The WVU-UTV Team has completed their construction of the STILE House in just 9 days. After two years of planning and building, their house is finally ready for visitors and go head to head in 10 competitions against 17 teams. Each team has interesting takes on energy efficiency, house goals and appearance.
