Participation in Solar Decathlon Europe UPC team



The Solar Decathlon (SD) is a collegiate competition promoted by U.S Department of Energy, that comprises 10 contests, and challenges student teams to design and build highly efficient and innovative buildings powered by renewable energy.

The winners are those teams that best blend architectural and engineering excellence with innovation, market potential, building efficiency, and smart energy production.

The competition features two tracks, the Design Challenge and the Build Challenge and provides an extraordinary experience that merge both the academic and the practical learning while raising awareness about clean energy.

Since 2010, SD has expanded to Europe, China, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East to involve an additional 160 teams and nearly 19,000 participants

The project development takes place in Universidad Politecnica de Catalunya from 2009 and 2012 and comprises the design and research activity of a multidisciplinary team
