1. I got the idea for the “green” dream house from Kilowatt Kidz in MESA. Kilowatt Kidz is a program where students learn how to be energy efficient.

2. Mr. Novak, a guest speaker who came to our school, introduced me to the Sundolier which inspired me to do the most energy efficient home. The Sundolier is a sun catcher that magnifies the suns rays into a room that lights up the whole place.

3. © Sundolier, Inc. 1. ACTIVE 2-Axis Tracking More hours of daylight 5X concentration = 100,000 lumens 3. INDIRECT even distribution No glare, No hot spots With integrated LED+Controls -> 24/7 hybrid light 2. COLLIMATED Bring daylight down multiple floors Daylight ANYWHERE Patents pending for core technology Sundolier ® Core Daylighting

4. Both of these things inspired me because I thought that my family was spending too much money on electricity. An example of the benefits of living in a energy efficient house would be when the power goes out we would still have electricity and heat. By using solar panels, we could charge batteries to use when there is no sun shining. This would keep us from using fossil fuel energy.

5. Somebody would want to build this house because it would reduce the need for fossil fuel energy and habitat loss from pollution from burning coal. Besides that, if all appliances were energy star then we would save more energy. Also, using LED or CFL lights would also save more energy.
