EUROPEAN STUDENT'S COMPETITION FOR A SOLAR HOUSE
The purpose of this competition is to promote, through an European competition, research on "pilot buildings" using renewable energies (sun, Wind etc.) for the internal comfort, together with a rational use of building materials so as to optimize performance from the energy, environment and economy points of view.
The present proposal concerns a competition among students for the design of three buildings, located in .... The competition will be open to students of the European Community.
