The Queen’s Solar Education Centre (QSEC) is a model home used in the creation and testing of sustainable housing technologies. The QSEC, located on Queen’s University’s West Campus and established by Queen’s Solar Design Team, is planned to be an off-grid home, capable of providing water, electricity, and heating to its inhabitants. It is currently under construction, but we are hosting tours in the meanwhile. More information can be found at www.qsdt.net.
