The Solar Decathlon Europe is an international competition that challenges collegiate teams to design and build houses powered exclusively by the sun. The winner of the competition is the team able to score the most points in 10 contests. The first edition took place in Madrid, Spain, in June 2010.Low 3 was the proposal by Polytechnic University of Catalonia, and won the 1st Architecture Prize along with Virginia Tech lumenHAUS.Low 3 aims much more than an energy independence during its operation. It is based on an exhaustive life cycle analysis (LCA) of its materials and components, an optimisation of its construction process, and a concept adaptable to future changes.
