| Project description |
In the Solar Decathlon, 20 different universities compete
to design a home powered with sun energy and to build it until
June 2010. Then the house of each team will be presented to the
public in Madrid and the winners will be chosen. Main
objectives are: 1. To generate knowledge on the
industrialisation and sustainability of the homes, increasing
suitable scientific benefits, as well as, the dissemination of
the knowledge; 2. To make both students and the general public
aware of the environmental and sustainability issues,
especially of the responsible use of energy and natural
resources, promoting the use of the renewable energies; 3. To
maximise the publicity of the event by taking advantage of the
competition’s characteristics and potential to achieve the
maximum media coverage and public information. |
