Abstract

The Solar Decathlon offers a unique experience that enables collegiate teams to develop critical career skills, learn from both national experts and peers, and gain valuable insights from world class thought leaders and mentors. Specifically, student teams are challenged to design and (if part of the Solar Decathlon Build Challenge) build highly energy-efficient buildings powered by renewable energy. Teams are evaluated on 10 measured contests, and the winning teams are those that best blend the topics of architectural and engineering excellence with innovation, market potential, building efficiency, smart energy production, and environmental justice.
