Over4 Information

Over 4 is the project that qualified Romania at the 4th European edition of Solar Decathlon competition which will be held in 2019 in Szentendre, Hungary. Solar Decathlon Europe is the most complex competition of architectural and engineering design in the world aimed at universities. The 2019 edition focuses on urban regeneration and the rehabilitation of the existing building stocks. The main challenge for the participating teams of students is to design and build a prototype of a self-sufficient solar powered house, build in just 10 days with smart and eco-friendly materials. Each competing team will have their prototype judged and monitored the results following the competition’s 10 rules. Our Organization consists of young professionals, graduated students, PhDs and professors and our main goal is to design, develop and implement a project which aims to improve the way in which the housing blocks in Romania are currently being renovated. By proposing a holistic approach that focuses on reducing the energy consumption and the environmental impact in order to reach the highest standards of efficiency and sustainability. Throughout our participation in Solar Decathlon Competition and with the help of our project we will create sustainability professionals that will continue to improve the way we approach sustainable design in our country -with regards to the 2020 nZEB passive design strategies- while creating awareness on the way renovation projects have to be conducted.
