Sustainable design is not a new idea at Weber State, but the College of Engineering, Applied Science & Technology is taking it up a notch.

For 18 months, students in the Building Design & Construction program will participate in the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon. The competition challenges college students to design and construct highly efficient and innovative buildings powered by renewable energy. Weber State was selected as one of 11 teams internationally.

Students will design and build net-zero energy homes in Salt Lake City. They presented plans for the homes at the Design Challenge Weekend held at the National Renewable Energy Lab in Golden, Colorado, in April 2019.

 An exhibit of renderings and models of the project
will be presented at the final Build Challenge Event
in Washington, D.C., in July 2020.
