Welcome to the Queen's Solar Design Team News Centre!
Here you can track our progress as we prepare our bid for the 2011 Solar Decathlon.
We would first like to welcome Dr. John Meligrana to the team as our Urban and Regional Planning faculty consultant. We look forward to working with him and the Queen's School of Urban and Regional Planning to develop a sustainable home that can be integrated to a broader community.
Our first big event, "Beer Snacks and Brainstorming", with SWITCH Kingston, was a huge success. 20+ SWITCH members came out to the grad club on July 15th to learn more about the project and share ideas. The discussion lasted over two hours and the team got lots of helpful feedback. Thanks to all that attended!
We have been busy this summer reaching out to the community and preparing for our proposal. You may have seen us on the trade floor Canadian Green Building Council National Summitin Montreal on June 11-12. We also attended the Canadian Solar Buildings Network Conference in Toronto, June 25-27th. Both were informative and have spawned exciting new partnerships.
Stay posted for more updates soon.
