Earlier this afternoon, Alex and Jenny sent off our materials for the second SD submission. It is such a relief to have everything sent! This past Saturday night a handful of team members stayed up until 5:23am to pull all the materials together and add final touches. We’ve put so much work into this and we really did give it our all. Now we’ll just have to cross our fingers that we get in!
Several members of the team signed up for shifts at the third annual Addison County Green Energy Expo. Hosted by the local high school, the event provided a great opportunity for community outreach, and it was fun to finally have hard drafts to show people. We received a lot of support and enthusiasm, as people were excited to see a group of students working on such a progressive project. We were also able to meet representatives of local companies and learn more about they interesting technologies they offer. We have a long road ahead of us in terms of making connections, raising money, and finding sponsors for our building materials and appliances. These communications and fundraising efforts will be a critical aspect of our project – just as important as the architectural design of our house.
