Description: SUM is TUDelft's student team participating in the Solar Decathlon Europe Competition! SUM represents Delft University of Technology in the Solar Decathlon Europe Competition. A competition that challenges international student teams all across the world to develop the most sustainable home. Here at Delft, we feel a deep responsibility to create impact for a better society. To develop technology-driven and innovative solutions for the societal challenges we are facing today.
The prototype might still be in Wuppertal, but that doesn't mean you can't visit it! Welcome to the online tour of SUM's prototype. In this video series, you will be taken on a journey through our prototype design.
With our tenement flat repurposing strategy we would like to make a world where diversity, innovation and social interaction are stimulated. Where clever design solutions can tackle social , economic and environmental challenges .
Initiated in 2002 by the United States Department of Energy, the Solar Decathlon (SD) is a university-level student competition for resource-responsible and energy-efficient architecture and engineering in the building sector. The competition challenges universities from all over the world to design, build and operate a solar-powered and energetically self-sufficient home equipped with advanced technologies, and designed to the highest standards of sustainability.
