First of all, there's a
tour of solar homes in the Washington-Baltimore area this coming weekend (October 1 and 2). You can download a "ticket" from that Web site.
Second, there's going to be another
Solar Decathlon in DC this October. I really enjoyed the previous one in 2002. I also think it's cool that the
UMass-Dartmouth team plans to donate its house to Habitat for Humanity in DC.
Finally (not really solar-related):
