A passive solar house being built at Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School in Upton, and an energy-efficient house under construction at Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School in Charlton, are just two onsite demonstration models with which students are learning green building technology. Bay Path’s demonstration model is designed as a 26-foot-by-36-foot, single-story house with a walkout basement, wheelchair ramp and farmer’s porch. The house will feature rooftop photovoltaic panels, solar heating and a small wind turbine.
