BeauSoleil Home

May 24, 2010

The BeauSoleil Home produces enough electricity from its solar panels that the energy meter rotates backwards.

This door/wall in the house is part of a Nanawall system that is unique design only to the BeauSoleil house.

Went to see the University of Louisiana architecture school. Once there we met with Geoff Gjertson who gave us a small tour of third year student work and later the BeauSoleil Home designed and built by the students.
