    SOLAR DECATHLON - INTRODUCTION

    The Solar Decathlon is an international competition created by the U.S. Department of Energy in which universities from all over the world work to design, build and operate a grid-connected, an energetically self-sufficient house, that uses solar energy as the only energy source and that is equipped with all of the technologies that enable maximum energy efficiency.

    During the final phase of the competition university teams assemble their houses at a central location and then open each competition prototype house to the general public, while undergoing the ten contests of the competition. Together, the ten contests described in these rules make up the Solar Decathlon and the team with the most points earned at the end of the contest week wins.

    SOLAR DECATHLON LATIN AMERICA & CARIBBEAN 2015

    The Government of Colombia through the Ministry of Mines and Energy MME, the National Planning Department DNP, the Government of Santiago de Cali and the Department of Energy of the United States Government - DOE, signed in May 2014 a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to organize the first version of the Solar Decathlon Latin America & Caribbean (SD LAC), which will take place in December of 2015 in Santiago de Cali, Colombia.

    The Government of Santiago de Cali has delegated the management of Solar Decathlon Latin America & Caribbean 2015 (SD LAC2015) to EMCALI, - the local Public Energy, Water and Communications Enterprise of Cali; and through a local agreement the FDI-GIP Foundation will be the contests operations managing organization.

    The 2015 edition of this competition, organized by Colombia, will take place at the Universidad del Valle in the city of Santiago de Cali.

    The SD LAC2015 organizations goal is to contribute to the knowledge and dissemination of solar and sustainable industrialized housing, and therefore has the following basic objectives:

    To raise participating students awareness of the benefits and opportunities offered by the use of renewable energies and sustainable construction, challenging them to think creatively and to develop innovative solutions that contribute to energy savings.

    To encourage professionals of the construction industry to utilize materials and systems that reduce the environmental impact of building over its entire lifetime, optimize its economic viability and provide for the comfort and safety of its occupants.

    To educate the general public about responsible energy use, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and the associated technologies available to help them reduce their energy consumption.

    To emphasize the correct order of intervention: first reducing the building energy consumption and increasing its energy efficiency and afterwards integrating solar active systems and other renewable technologies. Systems selected should be cost-effective and environmentally appropriate.

    To encourage the use of solar technologies. To promote architecturally attractive building-integrated solar system solutions, working on using the solar

    technologies to replace conventional construction materials in the building envelope such as the roof, skylights or facades.

    To demonstrate that high performance solar homes can be comfortable, attractive, and affordable.

    These Rules have been developed and adapted from the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon Rules and the Solar Decathlon Europe Rules to meet the unique objectives and principles of the Solar Decathlon Latin America & Caribbean Organization. With this new edition to be held in 2015 in Colombia, these Rules have been developed to refine the requirements to be met by competing projects. The Rules are intended to encourage

  • Solar Decathlon Latin America & Caribbean 2015 DRAFT RULES V.3

    7

    competition prototype houses that meet a triple challenge: energy, environment, and society. Therefore, the evaluation of proposed projects, via the 10 contests of the Decathlon, are intended to address disparate issues related to houses of the future. The Solar Decathlon Latin America & Caribbean 2015 Rules will focus on encouraging designs that address the following four principles, as expressed in the RFP:

    Social Housing

    Social inequality is one of the most pressing issues in Latin America and the Caribbean. Half of the top 20 Gini indices cover the LAC region (Gini index measures the degree of inequality in the distribution of family income in a country). Colombia, with a Gini index of 55.9, is the second most unequal country among those for which data from the current decade is available1. Given these circumstances, the SD LAC2015 Organization deems it crucial to ensure that the Solar Decathlon Latin America & Caribbean - SD LAC2015 does not become a design contest for high-cost commodities that would be available only to the privileged minority. On the contrary, it should strive to prove that sustainable housing based on alternative energy sources can be accessible to the population at large, prioritizing dense urban areas where most of the population is living. To suit this, projects should be designed to meet the needs of households of 5 members (minimum 3 adults + 2 children); 60-80m2; with a direct cost of construction for housing units for less than USD 50,000 and specifically targeting social housing. During the competition, teams must submit a valid justification that explains the affordability of the urban project in response to an industrial market solution. Take into account that SD LAC2015s main challenge is to achieve a proposal in which the direct cost of the dwelling construction is less than USD 50,000. This will be evaluated by the Urban Design and Affordability contest.

    Urban Density

    Nowadays, most of the population lives in cities where building areas are increasingly scarce and expensive. Moreover, denser housing solutions can help minimize the environmental impact. Consequently, the SD LAC2015 Rules will favor projects that optimize the architectural and urban footprint. Thus, the proposal submitted to Solar Decathlon Latin America & Caribbean 2015, shall optimize the urban footprint by achieving a conceptual density between 120 200 dwelling units or more per gross hectare through collective social housing; with buildings of up to 8 floors high and fulfilling high standards of accessibility. An urban master plan that clearly demonstrates the distribution of blocks, public areas and urban facilities is expected. The challenge is to achieve the highest density. Proposals containing a number of housing units above the target are allowed.

    Teams should develop an urban master plan keeping the minimum density of 120 dwellings per gross hectare or increase the density in order to fulfill the rules and the principles of the competition. This will be evaluated by the Urban Design and Affordability contest.

    Rational use of environmental resources

    The vast majority of the Latin American population lives in the tropics, enjoying high solar radiation all year long and exceptional availability of water sources (e.g. relatively high precipitation rates with frequent occurrences all year round - see climatic data in the additional information URL: http://www.solardecahlon20515.com.co). The SD LAC2015 competition should encourage design strategies that support an environmental balance that guarantees the permanent availability of these resources. Given these privileged conditions, efficient designs coupled with strategies that promote responsible consumption

  • Solar Decathlon Latin America & Caribbean 2015 DRAFT RULES V.3

    8

    should allow the SD LAC2015 competition to achieve greater levels of sustainability in energy, water supply and waste management, and increase the awareness of existing sustainable solutions.

    Regional Relevance

    The SD LAC2015 embraces the goal of developing and promoting ideas, capacities and technologies that can be implemented for the benefit of the inhabitants of the LAC region. That is why, although projects designed in the context of origin are welcomed, the competition should prefer designs appropriate to the cultural, economic and climatic conditions of the Tropical area. This is not just a matter of developing a prototype that performs successfully at the competition site; in addition, the full-scale project design should be shown to be able to answer to the necessities of people in the LAC area, including but not limited to the three above-mentioned principles of Social Housing, Density, and Rational Use of Environmental Resources.

    Summary

    The Solar Decathlon is also a public event designed to increase awareness about energy for residential use. The competition attempts to demonstrate that a well-designed house can generate enough electricity to meet the needs of a household, including electricity for lighting, cooking, washing clothes and dishes, powering home and home-office electronics, maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature and air quality. The SD LAC2015s objectives are designed to lead the commitment to environmental sustainability in the energy sector adopted by the Colombian Government through Law 1715/2014, concerned with rational and efficient use of energy and of non-conventional energy resources.

    The SD LAC2015 is expected to bring prestige and raise the visibility of the selected participating universities as they are part of the small group of top institutions that will compete in the worlds most important Solar House Event.

    Solar Decathlon Latin America & Caribbean 2015 will offer students a unique opportunity to learn and apply knowledge through a practical case study. Students working on the project will be challenged to use their innovation capacity, and their ability to design and build an energetically self-sufficient solar house. The projects are developed by multidisciplinary teams, giving the students the opportunity to learn not only about technical issues but also about teamwork, communication skills, a sustainable lifestyle and socio-economic issues in order to ensure the viability of their project.
