Decathlon (national zero energy home competition), will be holding an open
house this afternoon featuring a ceremonial powering up ceremony and public
tours thereafter.&nbsp; This project is a great example of MIT's &quot;Mind and
Hand&quot; philosophy by taking all the interest and excitement around energy
efficiency and renewable energy and putting it into action -- or more
specifically, a house!&nbsp; There are still lots of different ways to get
involved with this great project -- among other things, they are looking for
help reconstructing the house on the DC mall on October.&nbsp; So come, take a
look, and get involved!</span></font></p>
