What is Solar Decathlon?
The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon showcases innovative solar powered houses that are designed, built, and operated by collegiate teams. The winner of the competition is the team that best blends technology, market potential, and design excellence with smart energy production and maximum efficiency.

Sinatra Living is UNLV’s vision of an energy-efficient and health-conscious home for active aging citizens of Las Vegas and beyond. We’ll be entering our home into the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2017. Competing in Denver in October, the come is currently in the construction phase of the competition.
Our home provides an open, naturally illuminated interior design that adapts to the needs of persons who age in place, and may develop limited mobility and cognition. The design consists an energy efficient performance that also maximizes occupant comfort, through radiant heating, energy recovery ventilation and ductless air conditioning. It also provide networking capabilities to facilitate communications among occupants, family and professionals that improve healthcare outcomes.
