Texas A&M\u2019s solar decathlon partners include the Bryan\/ College Station Habitat for Humanity,<\/a> which has built over 300 homes in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We couldn\u2019t do a project like this without A&M. It\u2019s a perfect fit. Altruism meets community engagement meets impact.<\/p>Aaron Shipp, Habitat for Humanity<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Solar Texas team<\/a> was granted access to Habitat\u2019s previous build plans and ran a \u201clife cycle analysis\u201d on their existing recent builds. From that baseline, the team has designed the new building in a way that reduces their carbon footprint 75 percent, and are seeking to reach energy net zero, meaning more greenhouse gas will be removed than produced with their project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Habitat has donated the build site and will be constructing the residence from the team\u2019s design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking at this project to see what we could utilize sustainably and affordably to implement in our builds,\u201d said Aaron Shipp, director of construction at Habitat. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t do a project like this without A&M. It\u2019s a perfect fit. Altruism meets community engagement meets impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
