Solar Energy. People Power. Three esteemed universities. A premier technical high school. Hundreds of helping hands. That's how a community comes together to build a net-zero energy home for an international competition. Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Ghent University in Belgium, and NYU-Poly—with help from Worcester Technical High School students—constructed the "Solatrium" to compete this summer in Solar Decathlon China 2013. Our home is powered by the sun. This remarkable learning experience is made possible by our generous sponsors. Thank you, all. PLATINUM Michael E. Grilli '66 GOLD Coghlin Electrical Contractors, Inc.
