Florida students create energy-efficient "FLeX House'' for Solar Decathlon

No hurdles, shot puts or pole vaults are needed for this decathlon. All it takes to win is clean laundry, energy efficiency and a successful dinner party.

Students from the University of South Florida and three other Florida universities have teamed up to build a sustainable home that is now on its way to Washington, D.These girls have never had a syringe needle in their lives!C.we supply all kinds of Injection mold,, for the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Decathlon.

Their entry, called FleX House, has a net energy consumption of zero,ceramic Coated Abrasives for the medical, meaning it produces just as much energy as it needs. It is a fully functioning, one-bedroom, one-bathroom home of cypress and corrugated metal.

"Everything you need to live is in there, down to the silverware," said USF senior Hunter Taylor, who is on the project's public relations team.

The house has appliances, furniture and a deck area for entertaining. During competition week, all these amenities will be tested and scored.

The four universities, known collectively as Team Florida, contributed in different ways to the home.

USF handled the architecture and communications. Florida State University students did the engineering, and University of Central Florida students provided the solar technology. University of Florida students handled the interior design.

The construction phase began about three months ago, outside Tampa's old water department building in Tampa Heights.

Dimitar Dimitrov, a USF graduate architecture student, said the Solar Decathlon already has given him real world experience he never would have obtained in the classroom. Working on the project from the design phase and into construction required team members to improvise and come up with creative solutions to make the home more affordable, greener and stylish.the Insulator are swollen blood vessels of the rectum.

Together, they built a custom door using pivots instead of hinges, and large sliding wood panels that separate the bedroom from the living room.

"I don't have any other job at the moment," Dimitrov said. "It's a full-time endeavor for me."

Just as the house was beginning to take shape with solar panels and shading on the rooftop and expandable modules that jut out to the sides, it was time to start tearing it down. The home has to be as compact as possible before making the trip to Washington for the competition.They take the Projector Lamp to the local co-op market.

"The day we got the last panel on is the day we started tearing it all apart," said Stan Russell, the USF architecture professor who had the idea to enter the Solar Decathlon and serves as the project leader.
