As part of Team VIRTUe I participated in the Solar Decathlon competition 21/22 that was held in Wuppertal, Germany. The completion asks teams to design and fully construct cutting-edge solar-powered sustainable houses.With our ripple concept, we pushed the boundaries of what is possible in the built environment and won 2nd place.My role was as lead for two teams: engineering & construction and sustainability, representing two disciplines in the competition. As such, I was responsible for the energy concept of the house and sustainability measures to reduce embodied and operational energy.Technologies and approaches that were successfully implemented include facade-integrated PV and PVT systems, a heat pump, a proprietary smart home energy management system incl. a wall-mounted user interface, PCMs, heat recovery systems, completely demountable and adaptable construction, and reuse of recycled material among others.
