The programme discussed how faculty mentors can become future-ready educators and mentors to students interested in becoming leaders for net-zero. The event had experts talk about guiding students to innovate and solve real-world problems to combat Climate Change.
The event celebrated Solar Decathlon India and recognized the efforts of students and the industry for innovating climate change solutions in the building sector. Solar Decathlon India alumni Khushi Daxini and Nathulal Suthar Team Ferb talked about their educational building from the Challenge and their use of kinetic facades and radiant cooling systems to achieve efficiency.

Contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals. Through their projects, participants increased access of communities to clean energy, water, sanitation and waste management. Their projects increased access to affordable, good quality and resilient housing. Their buildings operate on renewable energy, and use rainwater and treated wastewater to reduce stress on freshwater sources. Their designs also keep inhabitants safe and ensure that critical operations function during disasters. The Grand Jury Paving pathways for a Zero-Carbon future.
In the Challenge, students collectively worked on 12 million SF of real estate to make them net-zero. The Solar Decathlon aims to promote student innovation, STEM education, and workforce development opportunities in the architecture and construction industry.
The competition has been ongoing since , and since then, more than 20, students have shared their innovative concepts. The Decathlon is divided into two separate challenges: The Design Challenge is a one-to-two-semester, design-only competition , while the Build Challenge is a two-year design-and-build competition. News via the U. Through the vast global Solar Decathlon network, this high-profile competition provides national exposure and recognition for successful teams and collegiate institutions.
The Solar Decathlon Design Challenge continues to build a global community of current and future professionals dedicated to providing solutions to complex problems related to climate change, affordability, and environmental justice through building design.
Complete details are available in the Design Challenge Rules, which will be available July Toggle navigation. Solar Decathlon Competition. Share This. The goals of the Solar Decathlon are to: Provide participating students with unique training that prepares them for the clean energy workforce. Educate students and the public about the latest technologies and materials in energy efficient design, clean energy technologies, smart home solutions, electric vehicles, and high-performance buildings.
Demonstrate to the public the comfort and savings of buildings that combine energy efficient construction, systems, and innovative design with onsite renewable energy production.
