This blog will follow the progress of the Israeli team for the 2013 Solar

Decathlon that will take place at Datong China in August 2013

The team:


Team Israel is a group of students from 4 leading colleges and universities, combining future Architects, Engineers, and Designers.  We are the first Israeli team to participate in a Solar Decathlon competition.
Our agenda is founded on 3 main concepts:
Culturally, Israel is characterized by a dynamic construction industry, full of transformations and constantly changing skylines.
Socially, the values which were entrenched in the country's establishment, of communal living and social responsibility, have become eroded over the years.
Today we are witnessing their return to the public agenda among widespread demands for social justice.
Climatically, Israel is a hot country with many hours of sun and a huge potential for solar power. Participating in the competition is an opportunity for us to demonstrate professional and social responsibility by presenting a building meeting "low budget" standards while maintaining a high standard of planning and energy design.
