RECOGNIZING AWARD-WINNING SUSTAINABLE HOUSING AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY
______
HON. SAM FARR
of california
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, June 6, 2006
Mr. FARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Jennifer Tobias and Stanford University's Green Dorm team for winning the Environmental Protection Agency's 2006 P3 award.
Tobias and her colleagues designed a sustainable facility for research, housing, and community space. The building forges together practical functionality while eliminating carbon emissions, closing the water cycle, and optimizing material resources.
This national competition, sponsored by EPA's Office of Research and Development, enables college students to research, develop and design scientific, technical, and policy solutions to sustainability challenges. Sustainable solutions are environmentally friendly, efficiently use natural resources and are economically competitive. The P3 award includes funding up to $75,000 that gives the students an opportunity to further develop their designs and move them to the marketplace.
I commend Jennifer and her colleagues for their innovative project design, and I hope they continue their important research and development on sustainable solutions to human endeavors. Jennifer and her colleagues are role-models who demonstrate that environmental and economical interests can be brought together in tomorrow's designs.
