One of our longtime board members, Harriet Saperstein, tipped us off to an article in the most recent edition of Detroit Auto Scene. While the DAS website is currently under construction, here's a quick rundown of the story...

A crew of students and recent graduates from Lawrence Technological University are currently putting the finishing touches on their answer to America's energy crisis –– a solar powered house with 620 sq. ft of living space that not only has the ability to generate twice the power a family of four would use, but can power a small electric vehicle.

Apparently anyone who's interested in "green" housing design can see the model on display at the LTU campus on W Ten Mile Rd in Southfield, starting today thru September 21st from 4:30 to 8 p.m.

As we pointed out on Wednesday, smart and sustainable housing designs are a big part of what makes affordable housing projects... affordable.
