VOICED: May the best solar house win

The video covers the Solar Decathlon competition on Washington's National Mall, where students build solar-powered houses. The competition evaluates structures in ten categories, including architecture and solar engineering. Innovations like rotating facades and net metering are highlighted. Teams focus on energy consumption and sustainability, integrating local needs with solar technology. Some houses become homes or are sold, like the Cornell House, priced under $200,000.
