Solar Decathlon
NAHB is a supporter of this year’s 2009 Solar Decathlon, sponsoring the People’s Choice Awards and a luncheon. The Solar Decathlon, taking place October 9-13th and 15-19th and held every two years on the National Mall, is a competition in which 20 teams of college and university students compete to design, build, and operate the most attractive, effective, and energy-efficient solar-powered house. NAHB participated in the 2007 event. For more information about NAHB’s involvement, contact Ken Sagan at ksagan@nahb.com. Also visit www.solardecathlon.org.

Modular Video
Modular homes are the ultimate prefabricated building system, constructing nearly 90% of a home offsite. A highly customizable home can be built in a controlled factory environment while the building site is prepped. This technique can save builders and home owners time and money by cutting overhead and outsourcing during the construction process. Watch this video to learn more on how modular homes can help you. Then, find a modular manufacturer that can meet your needs through the NAHB Building Systems Councils' modular manufacturer member directory.
