{{Short description|American collegiate competition centered on renewable energy}} | |||
The U.S. [[United States Department of Energy|Department of Energy]] (DOE) '''Solar Decathlon''' is a collegiate competition, comprising 10 contests, that challenges student teams to design and build highly efficient and innovative buildings powered by renewable energy. The winners are selected based for the best blending of design architectural and engineering excellence with innovation, market potential, building efficiency, and smart energy production. In the summer of 2018, DOE merged its two student building design competitions into one Solar Decathlon competition. | The U.S. [[United States Department of Energy|Department of Energy]] (DOE) '''Solar Decathlon''' is a collegiate competition, comprising 10 contests, that challenges student teams to design and build highly efficient and innovative buildings powered by renewable energy.
