Clean Tech
Over 70,000 visitors tour energy independent student built tiny homes in cities like Washington DC and Irvine California as part of the Annual Department of Energy Solar Decathlon.
Tiny homes can take advantage of solar and other green technologies that would be too expensive for a full-size home.

Why the Trailer
Tiny Homes on Wheels = Freedom
Tiny homes have significant tax advantages, not considered a permanent residence.
They do not need to meet the same code and permitting requirements as traditional construction.
They do not require a concrete pad and can be placed in rural locations.
The average mobile home costs $5000 to transport to a new location, tiny homes can be pulled by a small truck
As a structure they are multi use and can be combined to create larger homes.
They can be sold and shipped as a kit on their own trailer foundation.
