A one day symposium on zero/low carbon sustainable homes took place at The University of Nottingham on the 24th October, 2012. The event offered professionals within the construction industry a unique opportunity to gain added and significant insight into the innovations, policies and legislation which are driving the construction of zero/low carbon energy efficient homes both here in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. It explored solutions to sustainability issues “beyond” the zero carbon agenda. BZCH followed on from the successful ‘Towards Zero Carbon Housing’ symposium the University hosted in 2007. This event is part of the Europe Wide Ten Act10n project which is supported by the European Commission Intelligent Energy Europe.

5. Solar Decathlon – Origins
University Competition organized by the Department of
Energy of the United States (DOE).
University teams design, build and operate energy self-
sufficient houses.
These houses use solar energy as the only energy source,
and incorporate strategies and technologies that allows
maximum energy efficiency.

In the final phase the solar houses are assembled in
Washington DC, in the so-called "Solar Village".
Participating teams compete with their solar houses in
10 tests, where its name comes from: Solar Decathlon.

14. Solar Decathlon Europe – For participant students
It is a unique opportunity to “learning-
experience”, moving from the theory to the
practice in an unparalleled testing field.
Allows students to use their dynamism and
their innovation capacity to design and build
energy efficient houses.
Challenges them to investigate in order to
produce houses that achieve a balance between
architectural and engineering issues, as well as,
comfort and reducing the environment impacts
Offer to them the opportunity to learn to work
as a team, in a multidisciplinary ambience.
Students improve theirs communication and
negotiation skills
Learn about the real costs and the necessary
works to construct a house.
