GET YOUR SHOT. AMBER ITS CALLED THE SKY BLUE HOUSE ... BUT ITS AS GREEN AS CAN BE. USTUDENTS AND FACULTY HAVE BEEN WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK ON AN ENERGY EFFICIENT HOUSE. MARK NOW, THE BIG BLUE WILL COMPETE TO SEE IF THEY HAVE THE BEST GREEN HOUSE IN THE WORLD. VO METEOROLOGIST LAUREN RAYMER TAKES US ON A TOUR OF THE HOUSE . IN THIS PROJECT GREN REPORT. runs 1:28 :12 to 18 :40 to :49 1:12 to 1:17 Were down to the wire, but its going to get done and its going to be great. 20 universities from around the world have been selected to design a net zero energy home. A building that produces as much energy as it uses. SOT the university of ky is the ONLY sec school boast this energy efficient type of house.and its the first time they have gone head to head, testing their designs on a competition level. SOT We ship out on Saturday and we will see how we stack up against other universities across the nation. The Sky blue House is 14 1/2 feet high, 14 feet wide, and UK team will be dragging the some 30,000 pounds of house to D.C. To compete in the Dept of Energys Solar Decathalon on October 9th. Over the course of 18 months weve had about 200 students involved from several departments on campus.To participate in this competition is like going to the sweet 16 for engineers and architects So, theyve pulled out every green secret to get the trophy High value insullation, solar panels, tubes for hot water. And energy efficient windows that tint with the flip of a switch. As a stude, this is more than a competition, you get a better understanding o integrating these technologies that will lead to an energy efficient future. Youre not going to have a family of 4 living in it, but its the idea behind that we can use these technologies MARK AFTER THE COMPETITION, THE CITY OF LEXINGTON WILL BE USING THE SKY BLUE HOUSE AS A VITORS CENTER FOR THE WORLD EQUESTRIAN GAMES.
