3 solar decathlon story Created in 2002 by the U.S. Department of Energy

4 sd timeline 2002, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013 in Washington and Irvine, USA 2013 in China (Datong), 2015 in US & Cali, Columbia

5 Solar decathlon europe objectives 1. TO GENERATE KNOWLEDGE on the industrialization and sustainability of houses, bringing out suitable scientific benefits as well as the fruitful dissemination of knowledge, and technology transfer to professionals and industry 2. TO TAKE ADVENTAGE OF SOCIAL INTEREST AND HIGH MEDIA IMPACT TO MAKE students, professionals, and the general public aware of environmental and sustainability issues, especially in the responsible use of energy and natural resources, promoting the use of the renewable energies, improving energy efficiency, 3. TO PROMOTE THE BEST LEGACY OF SOLAR DECATHLON EUROPE developing activities to take adventage of this body of knowledge for near future: Books with experience description, technologies, learned lessons, Virtual Lecture Room, 40 research prototypes, Scale models exhibitions, awareness games, research network, and transfer of these experience for SOLAR DECATHLON Comunity, SOLAR DECATHLON FRANCE 2014,

10 experiential learning A unique opportunity to educate young professionals through a multidisciplinary learning-by-doing & team-building experience.

11 unique hands-on experience Educate futuregenerations of architects & engineers who will implement the sustainable development principles in our cities, buildings and infrastructures.

12 Living data monitoring experience Develop a measuring and monitoring system that produces a treasure of data and gained experience to be shared by scientific community worldwide

13 Special showcase for energy plus buildings Develop new strategies, new materials, and new technologies for Zero CO2 emission and energy plus buildings

14 european contribution Create a special European recurring event focussed on energy transition in the fields of urban planning, architecture, construction, mobility & social housing issues.

15 solar decathlon statement This collegiate event leverages energy literacy!

16 sde & 10action balance Graciela Ovando Doctoral thesis 2015

17 sde & 10action balance

18 sde & 10action balance public & private institutions taking part from 34 collaborating countries 60 Universities participating out of 100 university applicants (among 800 universities contacted) More than 600 researchers and PhD Students collaborating with the teams Volunteers working with the SD Europe and in the 10ACTION activities more than children and youths taking part in activities university students taking part in workshops and courses in the SD Europe and 10ACTION activities professionals from 12 EU member countries significant scientific output (books, papers, PhDs, patents) Over people participating in SD Europe and 10ACTION activities Estimated over 700 Million individuals reached through activities and media

19 sde identity

20 solar decathlon structure Establishing a Secretariat

21 solar decathlon europe secretariat integrate & align all initiatives, efforts & activities ensure the continuity of the event coordinate the dissemination of energy literacy document & disseminate the results (houses & their technologies) coordinate & manage the processes (competitions & their contexts)

22 sde secretariat organisation 1. management 2. communication & creative direction 3. competition 4. documentation 5. finance and controlling 6. scientific liaison 7. team support

23 sde distribution of activities It is about a balance between economic weight, politics, finance, people & content. It is useful & important to visualise a structure in this manner, as it emphasises the networked international and interdisciplinary nature of the SDE Secretariat.

24 segue to european endeavour

25 european energy endeavour We have the great opportunity and challenge to utilize the dynamic capacities of the Universities to push in the improvement of sustainability and energy efficiency in our buildings and cities all over Europe, to impact and transform their environment (economic, social, cultural, technological, )

26 european energy endeavour Moving beyond the solar decathlon europe a hub & consolidation of energy-related initiatives expansion of the Solar Decathlon concept to encompass other areas affecting the culture of european life providing oversight for predominantly university-led competitions in the arenas of sustainability & life-work-energy balance creating initiatives that are sexy, competitive & technological to shape the future of energy literacy in europe & beyond Utilize dynamic capacities of universities to transform their environment improving social, economic, and evironmental sustainability

27 european energy endeavour objectives Long term sustainable european program leaded by European Commission. improve global sustainable development in Europe s buildings & cities create broad awareness of energy & sustainability issues foster a global European-based sustainability research network, sharing knowlwedge in a collaborative way promote new knowledge thus improving energy efficiency & sustainability assist in the transfer of technologies to professionals & industry expand activities to universities according to their capacities, committing technical and non-technical universities encourage universities to be a force for transformation of the environment, sharing knowledge & strategies

28 european energy endeavour disciplines & technical challenges housing transportation agriculture& environment energy production Sustainable facility management industry Social & economic sustainability biodiversity energy & resource-efficient (net zero) buildings net zero buildings and retrofitting rethinking getting from A to B promoting sustainable mobility better nourishment for more people with less, sustainable agriculture water and waste management resiliant multi-source energy solutions and energy management (IWMS-BEMS) renewables energies, smart grids and smart cities KPI s at building and district levels effcient processes for post-oil post-industrial production responsible recreation & smart cities parks & natural reserves as part of the built environment

29 A challenge: solar decathlon europe documentation Innovation in measuring and monitoring: short term and mid term technologies Big database: collecting information, organization, analysis, documentation Long term performance of houses further than sde competitions Open to existing houses and retrofitting Scientific exploitation:.- passive strategies to improve energy efficiency.- new materials.- active systems.- constructive and industrialized technologies.- new building operation technologies: (IWMS, CAFM, BMS, ).- renowable energies and building integration.- building and district scale exchange information: BIM, GIS, SCADA s Industry dissemination and scientific & professional awarenes
