The competition sure has the world understanding the need to juice the sun for a better future. The competition had over a thousand students competing to come up with the most cost-effective, energy-efficient, and attractive solar powered home. Though, one outshone all, the solar-juice drinking Lumenhaus. This solar powered home is spacious, spanning 800 square feet. Ranked 4th in the competition\u2019s architecture category, the Lumenhaus designed by Virginia Tech is named for its \u201cpower of light\u201d elements.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nGlass walls enable maximum exposure to daylight, and the home is inspired by Mies Van Der Rohe\u2019s Farnsworth House. The Lumenhaus incorporates the use of the Eclipse System, using highly insulated translucent panels that filter the light using independent sliding layers. The solar panels quickly adapt to changes in the sun\u2019s positioning for an increased output. Three cheers for this green solar powered home!<br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Lumenhaus2.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Lumenhaus2.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Lumenhaus3.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Lumenhaus3.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"315\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Lumenhaus4.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Lumenhaus4.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/inhabitat.com\/2010\/06\/25\/lumenhaus-pulls-ahead-at-the-solar-decathlon-with-smart-adaptable-design\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">Inhabitat<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year\u2019s 2010 Solar Decathlon Design Competition had 17 solar powered homes competing, brick to brick, to be the greenest of them all.
