Anybody seen these, familiar with the contest?

University competition, 20 or so homes designed and built by students, all running off the grid, all of them transported to the National Mall and built up as a village. Open to the public beginning today. I'm going to try and check them out tomorrow.

Weather should be a good test - we haven't had any real rain for close to two months, but it's raining now and in the forecast for most of the next 5 days.

I saw that on TV last month, can't remember what channel. Looks very interesting, If I was closer I would go check them out. Thanks for the link.
