Eragy Sponsors Team NJ in DOE Solar Decathlon
Eragy is proud to announce its sponsorship of Team NJ in the 2011 Department of Energy Solar Decathlon!
The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon is an award‐winning program that challenges 20 collegiate teams to design, build, and operate solar‐powered houses that are cost‐effective, energy‐efficient, and attractive.
Led by Rutgers The State University of New Jersey and the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), Team NJ is a joint‐effort, multidisciplinary team comprised of students and faculty members who represent the future of green building in New Jersey.
As part of its sponsorship, Eragy supplied the team with the premium version of its Watt’s on Now! energy management application and service for Control4® systems. The Eragy app, working in conjunction with an eGauge power sensor and the home’s Control4 system, provides real-time information on the home’s energy consumption and on the energy generated by the home’s solar energy system.
Team NJ’s house concept, code named “eNJoy”, has been refined over the course of the past year and was eventually selected as one of 20 international finalists in the competition.
Team NJ's eNJoy House
Team NJ’s eNJoy and the other homes in the competition will be on display in the National Mall’s West Potomac Park in Washington, D.C. from September 23 to October 2. For more information about the competition, visit www.solardecathlon.gov.
