Highlights of the article include:

  • The Solar Decathlon Europe successfully tackles a triple challenge: design, build, operate.
  • Competition houses demonstrate net energy positive buildings.
  • All energy supply systems of the demonstration units are based on PV and air heat pumps.
  • Houses with battery storage provide flexibility in building grid interaction.
  • An Online knowledge platform provides building information and monitoring data.
  • The competition format can be linked to building sciences.
