Introduction 

Demonstration projects are a crucial piece of the Building Technologies mission. These projects provide an opportunity for FAS to express and test ideas while providing much needed safe, energy efficient housing. Working with like-minded organizations, past projects have given insight into practical issues of constructability inherent in working with new technologies. They have also allowed for real-time testing of technological performance, and have provided housing for those in need. FAS will continue to pursue demonstration projects both as a means of supplemental experimentation as well as a means of providing real solutions to problems of housing.

Currently, FAS is building a home in Houston, Texas. Construction updates, including photos and video, can be found on the Building Technologies Program Blog.
