Solar I, completed in 1939, was the first house in America to be heated by the sun's energy. A single story house-like structure on the MIT campus, Solar One used solar radiation as a heat source for the winter, but projects were also conducted on summer air conditioning and power generation. This house is featured by the U.S. Department of Energy's Building Technology Program as a "Milestone Building of the 20th Century". |
