On this episode of "TechKnow," Phil Torres and Cara Santa Maria had a slumber party at the Honda Smart Home, an experimental model residence at the University of California at Davis that was built with the goal of creating a house that can power itself, fuel an electric car—and feed energy back into the grid. 

To test's the house human factor—what would it be like to live there for actual people—Cara and Phil hung out, drove the car, made dinner and did some laundry.
