This senior capstone team entered in the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon Design Challenge 2021. The Solar Decathlon Design Challenge is an engineering competition where teams are required to design a building that exhibits cutting edge sustainability features. This team consists of ten students: two Environmental Engineers, three Civil Engineers and five Mechanical Engineering students. The team chose to enter in the Elementary School division, creating a net-zero building called E.O.E. Elementary, standing for Experiential, Observational, Educational. The team was judged on 10 contest categories all of equal weight: architecture, engineering, market analysis, durability and resilience, embodied environmental impact, integrated performance, occupant experience, comfort and environmental quality, energy performance and our end of project presentation. The team competed and advanced as finalists, winning a “Best of Show/Outstanding Showcase” award in the final rounds of the competition.
