RULES FINAL VERSION

SOLAR DECATHLON - INTRODUCTION The Solar Decathlon is an international competition created by the U.S. Department of Energy in which universities from all over the world work to design, build and operate a grid-connected, energetically selfsufficient house, that uses solar energy as the only energy source and that is equipped with all of the technologies that enable maximum energy efficiency. During the final phase of the competition university teams assemble their houses at a central location and then open each competition prototype house to the general public, while undergoing the ten contests of the competition. Together, the ten contests described in these rules make up the Solar Decathlon and the team with the most points earned at the end of the contest week wins. SOLAR DECATHLON LATIN AMERICA & CARIBBEAN 2015

The Government of Colombia through the Ministry of Mines and Energy – MME, the National Planning Department – DNP, the Government of Santiago de Cali and the Department of Energy of the United States Government - DOE, signed in May 2014 a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to organize the first version of the Solar Decathlon Latin America & Caribbean (SD LAC), which will take place in December of 2015 in Santiago de Cali, Colombia. The Government of Santiago de Cali has delegated the management of Solar Decathlon Latin America & Caribbean 2015 (SD LAC2015) to EMCALI, - the local Public Energy, Water and Communications Enterprise of Cali; and through a local agreement the FDI-GIP Foundation will be the contest ’s operations managing organization. The 2015 edition of this competition, organized by Colombia, will take place at the Universidad del Valle in the city of Santiago de Cali. The SD LAC2015 organization’s goal is to contribute to the knowledge and dissemination of solar and sustainable industrialized housing, and therefore has the foll owing basic objectives: 







 



To raise participating student’s’ awareness of the benefits and opportunities offered by the use of renewable energies and sustainable construction, challenging them to think creatively and to develop innovative solutions that contribute to energy savings. To encourage professionals of the construction industry to utilize materials and systems that reduce the environmental impact of building over its entire lifetime, optimize its economic viability and provide for the comfort and safety of its occupants. To educate the general public about responsible energy use, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and the associated technologies available to help them reduce their energy consumption. To emphasize the correct order of intervention: first reducing the building energy consumption and increasing its energy efficiency and afterwards integrating solar active systems and other renewable technologies. Systems selected should be cost -effective and environmentally appropriate. To encourage the use of solar technologies. To promote architecturally attractive building-integrated solar system solutions, working on using the solar technologies to replace conventional construction materials in the building envelope such as the roof, skylights or facades. To demonstrate that high performance solar homes can be comfortable, attractive, and affordable.

These Rules have been developed and adapted from the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon Rules and the Solar Decathlon Europe Rules to meet the unique objectives and principles of the Solar Decathlon Latin America & Caribbean Organization. With this new edition to be held in 2015 in Colombia, these Rules have been developed to refine the requirements to be met by competing projects. The Rules are intended to encourage 7


RULES FINAL VERSION

competition prototype houses that meet a triple challenge: energy, environment, and society. Therefore, the evaluation of proposed projects, via the 10 contests of the Decathlon, are intended to address disparate issues related to houses of the future. The Solar Decathlon Latin America & Caribbean 2015 Rules will focus on encouraging designs that address the following four principles, as expressed in the RFP: Social Housing

Social inequality is one of the most pressing issues in Latin America and the Caribbean. Half of the top 20 Gini indices cover the LAC region (Gini index measures the degree of inequality in the distribution of family income in a country). Colombia, with a Gini index of 55.9, is the second most unequal country among those for which data from the current decade is available1. Given these circumstances, the SD LAC2015 Organization deems it crucial to ensure that the Solar Decathlon Latin America & Caribbean - SD LAC2015 does not become a design contest for high-cost commodities that would be available only to the privileged minority. On the contrary, it should strive to prove that sustainable housing based on alternative energy sources can be accessible to the population at large, prioritizing dense urban areas where most of the population is living. To suit this, projects should be designed to meet the needs of households of 5 members (minimum 3 adults + 2 children); 6080m2; with a direct cost of construction for housing units for less than USD 50,000 and specifically targeting social housing. During the competition, teams must submit a valid justification that explains the affordability of the urban project in response to an industrial market solution. Take into account that SD LAC2015’s main challenge is to achieve a proposal in which the direct cost of the dwelling construction is l ess than USD 50,000. This will be evaluated by the Urban Design and Affordability contest. Urban Density Nowadays, most of the population lives in cities where building areas are increasingly scarce and expensive. Moreover, denser housing solutions can help minimize the environmental impact. Consequently, the SD LAC2015 Rules will favor projects that optimize the architectural and urban footprint. Thus, the proposal submitted to Solar Decathlon Latin America & Caribbean 2015, shall optimize the urban footprint by achieving a conceptual density between 120 – 200 dwelling units or more per gross hectare through collective social housing; with buildings of up to 8 floors high and fulfilling high standards of accessibility. An urban master plan that clearly demonstrates the distribution of blocks, public areas and urban facilities i s expected. The challenge is to achieve the highest density. Proposals containing a number of housing units above the target are allowed. Teams should develop an urban master plan keeping the minimum density of 120 dwellings per gross hectare or increase the density in order to fulfill the rules and the principles of the competition. This will be evaluated by the Urban Design and Affordability contest. Rational use of environmental resources The vast majority of the Latin American population lives in the tropics, enjoying high solar radiation all year long and exceptional availability of water sources (e.g. relatively high precipitation rates with frequent occurrences all year round - see climatic data in the additional information URL: http://www.solardecahlon20515.com.co). The SD LAC2015 competition should encourage design strategies that support an environmental balance that guarantees the permanent availability of these resources. Given these privileged conditions, efficient designs coupled with strategies that promote responsible consumption 1

RULES FINAL VERSION

should allow the SD LAC2015 competition to achieve greater levels of sustainability in energy, water supply and waste management, and increase the awareness of existing s ustainable solutions. Regional Relevance The SD LAC2015 embraces the goal of developing and promoting ideas, capacities and technologies that can be implemented for the benefit of the inhabitants of the LAC region. That is why, although projects designed in the context of origin are welcomed, the competition should prefer designs appropriate to the cultural, economic and climatic conditions of the Tropical area. This is not just a matter of developing a prototype that performs successfully at the competition site; in addition, the full-scale project design should be shown to be able to answer to the necessities of people in the LAC area, including but not limited to the three above-mentioned principles of Social Housing, Density, and Rational Use of Environmental Resources. Summary The Solar Decathlon is also a public event designed to increase awareness about energy for residential use. The competition attempts to demonstrate that a well-designed house can generate enough electricity to meet the needs of a household, including electricity for lighting, cooking, washing clothes and dishes, powering home and home-office electronics, maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature and air quality. The SD LAC2015’s objectives are designed to lead the commitment to environmental sustainability in the energy sector adopted by the Colombian Government through Law 1715/2014, concerned with rational and efficient use of energy and of non-conventional energy resources. The SD LAC2015 is expected to bring prestige and raise the visibility of the selected participating universities as they are part of the small group of top institutions that will compete in the world ’s most important Solar House Event. Solar Decathlon Latin America & Caribbean 2015 will offer students a unique opportunity to learn and apply knowledge through a practical case study. Students working on the project will be challenged to use their innovation capacity, and their ability to design and build an energetically selfsufficient solar house. The projects are developed by multidisciplinary teams, giving the students the opportunity to learn not only about technical issues but also about teamwork, communication skills, a sustainable lifestyle and socio-economic issues in order to ensure the viability of their project.

Self Reporting

Teams shall self-report definite or possible rules infractions that have occurred or may occur. a. The rules do not address every possible scenario that may arise during the competition. Therefore, a team considering an action that is not explicitly permitted by the rules should ask a Rules Official for 23


RULES FINAL VERSION

an official decision before proceeding with the action. If the team does not ask for an official decision, it puts itself at risk of incurring a penalty. b. The Rules Officials: Competition Manager and Competition Project Manager will act with discretion when determining the penalty for a rules infraction. c.

g. The Rules Officials shall report to the Competition Manager all major rule infractions. The Competition Manager is solely authorized to apply point penalties or disqualify a team from the competition or from part, or all, of one or more sub contests for major rules infractions. h. Disqualification from the competition requires prior notice to the team and an opportunity for the team to make an oral or written statement on its behalf. i.

The evaluation criteria for every contest will be focused on the four principles stated at the beginning of this document. 2.5.

Contest 1:

Architecture Available Points: 100 The main objective is asses spatial efficiency, appropriate materials in relation with bioclimatic strategies to the future of social housing in the Latin America and Caribbean context. It will be assessed on the project’s deliverables referenced in Section 3 and Table No. 5. This contest will be evaluated for a multidisciplinary jury composed by three members that include renowned professionals in architecture, bioclimatic architecture, urban planning or related areas. Evaluation criteria: 51


RULES FINAL VERSION

Architecture will be assessed as: the conceptual organization of architectural space in coherence, relationship with technologies, material, bioclimatic strategies and the reflection over the future of housing according to the LAC context (cultural, social, and spatial), in accordance with the following aspects: 











Proposal’s coherence: clarity in the conception of space and concepts; synthetic, essential, simple and

radical proposals will be assessed positively. Perceptive evaluation: on-site verification of how the team´s architectural design have been achieved in the constructed house. Functionality and Spatial Design: the efficient and rational use of space. Expansion and transitional areas and transformable or multi-use spaces suited to requirements of competition. Lighting Design: the lighting quality for the space definition and the comfort provision evaluating both the daylight and artificial light. The suitable use of lighting highlighting the house values will also be assessed. Appropriate Materials and sustaining technologies: coherence on use of materials and technology with the architectural concept and local resources. Relevance: How the project brings a relevant proposal to the cultural and environmental context of Latin America and the team´s home country.

The architectural design should be suitable to meet the needs of households of 5 members (minimum 3 adults + 2 children). Since Solar Decathlon Latin America & Caribbean 2015 edition encourages teams to address urban density issues, each team has to anticipate the sonic environment around the project (circulation of human sounds and acoustic sources between collective housing buildings, from inside to outside and vice -versa) and the circulation of sounds in the housing unit interior space (for example when someone wants to sleep while others want to listen to music or watch TV). These two aspects of living comfort cannot be measured on the SD LAC2015 site, thus, they have to be discussed in the Architecture Design Narrative Report presenting the local development of the project on the site chosen by the team. This discussion will present coherent quantitative values based on a detailed acoustic study of the project. Scoring A total of 100 points will be awarded by the corresponding jury for this contest.

RULES FINAL VERSION

3.2.


This deliverable is intended to compile materials from every participating team, in order to start organizing different events and activities, to contribute to the SD LAC2015 goal of socialization Knowledge and Project Diffusion. Socialization Materials will be verified as to comply with the SD LAC2015 Rules. The materials submitted by the participating teams in this deliverable will be used by the SD LAC2015 Organization for the different dissemination activities planned. 3.3.

Schematic Design Documentation

Its primary objectives are to verify the work that the teams are generating among the various fields to develop in the project. It is also designed to identify, as soon as possible, any aspect or design which does not fit or match with the sense of the Competition. It is not necessary to include neither all the sections of the Project Manual, nor a complete set of Project Drawings. At this stage the structure of the Project Manual should be taken as a set of guidelines intended to assist the teams as well as to facilitate the work of reviewers. Nonetheless, the documents delivered shall demonstrate compliance or at least the intention to comply with the SD LAC2015 Building Code and Rules. Drawings of the Urban Master Plan should be submitted with this deliverable, from development and conceptual phase to structured proposal. Proposals sent with this deliverable can be subject to complete revisions by teams in the following deliverables. 3.4.


At this stage of the Competition, projects will have to i nclude an extensive description of the Project details and specifications of the materials, constructive systems, equipment, footing, structural and trades report, and details drawing. Teams will have to consider all the remarks made by the SD LAC2015 Organization in previous deliverables, and design and plan accordingly. 3.5.

Construction Documentation Phase

This deliverable aims to have all the necessary information to s et up the team’s presence in the Solar Village, and to foresee all the elements required for that purpose. It consists of the Construction Documents that define the prototype and of the materials that will serve to prepare the Solar Village Visitor’s Guide. The Construction Documents shall demonstrate compliance with the Solar Decathlon Building Code and the Solar Decathlon Latin America & Caribbean 2015 Rules so that the inspectors will be abl e to grant final on-site approval by simply verifying that the constructed project on the competition site was accurately represented by the Construction Documents. The Construction Documents shall clearly describe the team’s proposed assembly and disassembly procedures. The Site Operations Manager will review the teams’ procedures to identify and address potential conflicts among the teams. Each team is encouraged to consult the Site Operations Manager as the relevant sections of the Construction Documents are being developed. The Construction Documents shall provide a residential contractor with all the information needed to generate an accurate, detailed cost estimate and to efficiently construct the building as the design team intended it to be built. The Construction Documents must be comprehensive because the design team shall assume that the contractor has had no prior communication with the design team, has no prior knowledge of the design, and has little or no experience building high-performance residences. This deliverable is also intended to organize the documentation being sent to the juries, and to not have any teams’ documentation mistaken. Since the juries have a very limited opportunity to evaluate the constructed

projects on the competition site, the Construction Documents provide the only means for a team to give a 74


RULES FINAL VERSION

detailed presentation of its project to the juries. In the weeks leading up to contest week, each juror shall evaluate sections of the teams’ Construction Documents relevant to each juror’s respective area of expertise. 3.6.

Project Drawings

As stated in Rule 3.10, the Project Drawings must be consistent with the SD LAC2015 Project Drawings formatting template and guidelines. In order to have the Drawings of the Deli verables organized and named, it involves the basic principles to follow. In case there are particular drawings that do not fit in this Template, those must be located where appropriate (teams may ask the SD LAC2015 Organization through the SD LAC2015 Workspace, if necessary). If the team has drawings corresponding to two different sections, the team may put it in the most general one and indicate its final location. To name the drawings a code will be used. The code is as follows: 

2-3 letters; The letters indicate the corresponding block – GE-General; AR-Architecture; IN-Interiors; etc.



3 numbers; The numbers rank each block into three different levels: the first establishes the sub -blocks (plan, section, elevation, etc.) the second number identifies the different items existing inside each subblock (footing, first floor, second, etc.) the third digit lists the specific drawings inside each item.

e.g. the drawing AR-104 – correspond to:    

AR to the Architectural block 1 to the Elevation sub-block 0 to the Site item 4 to the specific drawings – Southern Elevation

Therefore as each team, depending on their project and i ts particular characteristics, may need of more or less drawings inside concrete sections, the last number is left for the specific drawings each team considers. The SD LAC2015 Project Drawings formatting template and guidelines are included in the following li st. Onward, delivery of information listed below is mandatory.

The structural calculations justification must have the following sections: 1. The structural solution adopted justification, including a description of the house bearing system and the list of codes used for the design and construction. 2. A description of the materials and its resistance properties. 3. Employed actions; particularly, the different wind hypothesis of pressure/suction over the envelope will be detailed making use of sketches. Combinations made and safety factors used. Loads considerations during the house transportation, assembly and disassembly. 4. Calculations model (s) description. If it proceeds, identifying the software (program object and application field), and indicating the adopted simplifications, the methodology of the analysis done, specific models of singular areas where traditional material resistant theories can’t be applied, edging or supporting conditions, type of connections, etc. 5. Tensional and distortional verification results, explaining the representation of the software or calculations results obtained, indicating the phases or hypothesis in which dreadful efforts are produced, and covering all the different phases (transportation, assembly, and use). 6. Deflection calculations and tabulated results. Applicable expansion, contraction, and crack-control measures. 7. Superficial footing design, indicating soil bearing pressure of each footing. (For further details, please refer to Rule 1.22). 8. Structural fire resistance justification, according to the T eam’s country of origin national codes. 112


RULES FINAL VERSION

9. For materials not being considered in the rules, teams must submit a document signed by a competent technician. This document justifies the resistant properties of the materials and the design, from a structural safety point of view, considering the actions indicated in their national rules.
