The houses use solar energy as the only energy source and are equipped with all the technologies that permit maximum energy efficiency. During the final phase of the competition Teams assemble their houses, open to the general public, while undergoing the ten contests of the competition. These ten contests make this event a Decathlon. SOLAR DECATHLON EUROPE > The Solar Decathlon Europe (SDE) was created through a signed agreement between the Ministry of Housing of the Government of Spain and the United States Government, in October 2007, in order to organize a sustainable solar house competition in Europe, in 2010 and 2012. The 2014 edition of this competition will be hosted by France, in Versailles. The SDE 2014 Organization’s goal is to contribute to the knowledge and dissemination of industrialized, solar and sustainable housing, and has the following fundamental objectives: > To raise participating students’ awareness > To emphasize a correct order of intervention: of the benefits and opportunities gained the reduction of building energy consumption through the use of renewable energies for increased energy efficiency,integrating and sustainable construction, challenging solar active systems and other renewable them to think creatively and develop technologies. innovative solutions that contribute to energy Building systems must be selected savings. and dimensioned using environmental and cost-effective criteria. > To encourage professionals of the building > To encourage the use of solar technologies. industry. To select materials and systems that reduce > To promote architecturally attractive solar the environmental impact of a building over system integration, working on using its entire lifetime, optimizing its economic solar technologies to replace conventional viability and providing comfort and safety construction materials in the building of occupants. envelope such as the roof, skylights or facades. > To educate the general public about responsible energy use, renewable energy, > To clearly demonstrate that high performance energy efficiency, and the technologies solar homes can be comfortable, attractive available to help reduce energy consumption. and affordable. 4 SOLAR DECATHLON EUROPE 2014 With this new edition in 2014 in France, development of the Rules refines the requirements to be met by Teams & their projects. A key objective is to provide habitats that major issues related to houses of the answer to today’s triple challenges:energy, future. environment and society. The 2014 Solar Decathlon Europe The evaluation of the proposed projects, Organization in France has decided to via the 10 criteria of the Decathlon, covers focus on the six following issues: 1/ DENSITY Density is needed to minimize environmental impacts. Collective housing project are encouraged rather than individual houses. 2/ MOBILITY The Solar Europe aims to be a testing ground for innovative solutions merging urban design housing and transportation systems. 3/ SOBRIETY While it is important to ensure a renewable energy supply, it is even more important to limit demand. 4/ INNOVATION Innovation remain at the heart of the competition, covering fundamentals from architecture to house appliances. 5/ AFFORDABILITY Team shoul keep in mind that affordability remains the key issue for applicable sustainable architectural and urban solutions. 6/ LOCAL CONTEXT Each project must be a quality response to the cultural, climatic and social contexts of each team’s region. PROJECT PROFILES 5 DIVERSITY OF PROJECT PROFILES > In 2014, Versailles will welcome 20 teams originating from 17 countries and 3 continents. Each Team has to come up with a zero-energy housing solution that fits the context and specificities of its homeland. This desire to take into account the environment in which the prototype is meant to evolve provides this 2014 edition with various and distinct profiles tackling themes as broad as: New housing Facing major New urban types typologies natural threats & innovation INSIDE OUT USA/GERMANY RÉCIPROCITÉ USA/FRANCE Sharing & community LUCERNE TEAM SWITZERLAND Earthquakes Facing major BARCELONA TECH 2014 SPAIN CASA FENIX TEAM social issues CHILE/FRANCE Building on top & density ONTOP GERMANY Floods TEAM ROOFTOP GERMANY KMUTT TEAM THAILAND PLATEAU TEAM SPAIN Aging population TEAM UNICODE TAIWAN TEC TEAM COSTA RICA Innovation Tsunamis ROME 4 DENCITY ITALY CHIBA UNIVERSITY Population DELFT VERSAILLES 2014 NETHERLANDS JAPAN expansion ATLANTIC CHALLENGE FRANCE TEAM SHUNYA INDIA DTU TEAM DENMARK TEAM BUCHAREST 2014 ROMANIA Drought PARIS FRANCE TEAM MEXICO UNAM MEXICO 6 SOLAR DECATHLON EUROPE 2014 PROJECT PROFILES 7 ÉTATS-UNIS/ FRANCE SOLAR TEAMS > 20 official teams > 20 zero energy prototypes USA+GERMANY > 16 countries > 15 official languages > 3 continents > 41 universities PROJECT NAMES COUNTRIES PHILÉAS FRANCE RESSÒ SPAIN EFDEN ROMANIA RENAIHOUSE JAPAN HOME WITH A SKIN NETHERLANDS EMBRACE DENMARK CASA FENIX CHILE+FRANCE TECHSTYLE HAUS USA+GERMANY BAAN CHAAN ADAPTIVE HOUSE THAILAND MEXICO YOUR+ SWITZERLAND CASA MEXICO ONTOP GERMANY LIV-LIB’ FRANCE SYMBCITY SPAIN MAISON RECIPROCITY USA+FRANCE RHOME FOR DENCITY ITALY ROOFTOP GERMANY COSTA RICA H NAUGHT INDIA TROPIKA COSTA RICA ORCHID HOUSE TAIWAN CHILE/FRANCE 8 SOLAR DECATHLON EUROPE 2014 20 OFFICIAL TEAMS WILL COMPETE IN LA CITÉ DU SOLEIL® IN VERSAILLES IN JUNE AND JULY 2014 DENMARK ROMANIA INDIA JAPAN NETHERLANDS ITALY FRANCE X2 GERMANY X2 SPAIN X2 SWITZERLAND TAIWAN THAILAND PROJECT PROFILES 9 TEAM Atlantic Challenge PROJECT Philéas NEW HOUSING TYPOLOGIES Innovation «Retrofitting historic The 35 modules of the prototype buildings and transforming (5 kWc) will be strategically spread a neighborhoodby on the four slopes exposed to the south.
