Through a partnership with Flatirons Habitat for Humanity, the CU Solar Decathlon team is designing and building an ultra-efficient, net-zero energy home to be incorporated into the Ponderosa Stabilization Program. This team is redefining the next generation of affordable housing on the Front Range by focusing on a robust envelope, carbon-conscious materials, and improved indoor air quality. Not only will this home be net-zero energy, but it will also incorporate a fully automated residential green hydrogen generation and storage system. This system reduces reliance on the grid, allowing the home to be run on renewable energy 24/7 with zero carbon emissions.
The goal is to build a model single-family house that can be replicated in affordable housing markets. Further, they aim to prove the feasibility of the hydrogen economy as an alternative clean energy solution.
The 2023 team’s mission is three-fold:
Raise awareness in the community on sustainable building solutions
Train the next generation of building professionals entering the workforce
Create a higher standard of affordable housing focused on energy efficiency, occupant health, and long-term resilience
