On Monday, the 660-square-
foot Michigan Solar House (MiSo)
will be moved to Evart, Mich., in
Osceola County.
Constructed for the 2005 Solar
Decathlon in Washington D.C.,
the house was a collaborative,
interdisciplinary project between
students and faculty from the
Taubman School of Architecture
and Urban Planning and several
other University departments.
Since its completion, MiSo has sat
in Ann Arbor’s Matthaei Botanical
Gardens as a public exhibit to help
raise awareness for solar power and
technology.
The house was sold to Lisa and
Matt Gunneson last fall. This week,
the couple will begin transportation
of the house to their property in
Evart, where they will live in the
modular, solar-powered house full-
time.
When the house was placed
on the market by the UM Finance
Procurement Services last October,
the Gunnesons knew they wanted
to make MiSo their home. Lisa
Gunneson, a natural health
therapist and educator, said they
were looking for a house that would
allow them to live a more natural,
back-to-the-earth lifestyle.
“When we heard the solar home
was up for auction, we put in a bid
because we really want to live a
simple, self-sufficient kind of life,”
Gunnerson told MLive.
The Gunnesons also had a
special connection to the Matthaei
Botanical Gardens: the couple went
to the gardens for their first date,
and were married there in 2015.
The house — covered in
aluminum casing and 30 solar
panels — converts solar energy into
hot water that provides power for
all the house’s heating and electric
needs. According to Architecture
Prof. Harry Giles, the original
faculty supervisor for the project,
the house produces more energy
than it uses. Inside the home,
MiSo has a living room, kitchen,
dining room and one bedroom. But
Giles said it would be possible to
expand MiSo into a two-bedroom,
950-square-foot house with the
addition of more modules.
The creators originally
designed it as a prototype to be
mass-produced, though they have
not yet built anymore like it. It
was “envisioned as a residential
module that would be universal,
autonomous, and easily transported
around the globe,” according to the
Taubman School’s website.
Geoffrey Thün, associate dean
for research and creative practice at
the Taubman College, told the Daily
in October that the goal of MiSo,
and of the whole Solar Decathlon
competition, was to expose more
Americans to renewable energy
living.
“It was a mechanism that was
set up by the Department of Energy
whose role was to try to expose
new thinking associated with
renewable energy to as wide a group
of American citizens as possible,”
Thün said.
Tomorrow, the Ann Arbor-
based company Meadowlark
Design + Build will transport the
house from the gardens to the
Gunneron’s Evart property. The
Gunnesons hope to be living in the
house full-time by spring. In the
meantime, they’re working with
Meadowlark to make the house a
net-zero impact home, meaning
it would be completely self-
sustained.
“This is a one-of-a-kind
home, and our expertise in
sustainable construction will
help ensure the Gunnesons
transport and restore the home
exactly to their specifications,”
said Doug Selby, CEO of
Meadowlark Design + Build, in
a press release to PRNewswire.
com. “It’s also a labor of love, as
two of our staff members, Jen
Hinesman and Melissa Kennedy,
were part of the University of
Michigan team that created the
MiSo back in 2005.

Ron Weiser (R) is expected to head
the Michigan Republican Party
beginning in February, after his
only opponent dropped out of the
race.
Scott
Hagerstrom,
who
directed Trump’s campaign in
Michigan during the election,
posted on Facebook Sunday he
was withdrawing from the race
for Michigan GOP chair and
endorsing his opponent Weiser.
In his statement, he praised
Weiser’s history and expressed
Weiser’s
preparation
for
Republican leadership.
“After meeting with multiple
members of the Trump White
House, I’ve decided that the best
way I can help make Michigan
Great Again is to withdraw from
the race for MIGOP Chair,”
Hagerstrom wrote. “This is not
the end, but the beginning of
something great. I am confident
that Ron Weiser understands
that the future of the Michigan
Republican
Party
lies
in
embracing
the
constitutional
principles that led to President
Trump’s historic victory.”
Weiser and Hagerstrom were
the only two candidates up for
the position. In a Facebook post,
Weiser lauded Hagerstrom for
his continuing work with the
party and said his help will
be imperative in the coming
months.
“Scott
is
an
excellent
leader who is very important
to
making
certain
that
Republicans
win
again,”
Weiser
wrote.
“We
will
unite our party for victory
in 2018 to elect a Republican
Governor
and
Republican
US Senator who will help
President Trump implement
conservative policies for our
nation.”
Hagerstrom is not the
only
endorsement
Weiser
has received for the position.
On Thursday, Trump’s Chief
of Staff Reince Priebus and
Chief Strategist Steve Bannon
penned a letter recommending
Weiser for the position.
In the letter, Priebus and
Bannon wrote the best way
to maintain control of once-
blue states like Michigan is by
nominating Weiser.
“Our task now is to keep
Michigan a red state, and Ron
Weiser is the right choice to
lead that charge as Chairman
of the Michigan Republican
Party,” Priebus and Bannon
wrote.
Weiser
announced
his
campaign back in December.
The position was vacated by
Ronna Romney McDaniel,
who will be heading the
Republican
National
Committee.
