The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon® 2023 Build Challenge is an exciting opportunity for collegiate teams to design and build full-size, high-performance, low-carbon homes. From April 4–18, these teams will be hosting community open houses to showcase their zero energy homes and demonstrate creative solutions to real-world climate issues. Attendees will have the chance to tour the homes, learn about the innovations and solutions, and ask questions.
The competition culminates in the Solar Decathlon Competition Event, April 20–23, in Golden, Colorado, at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Teams will present across 10 contests and the home that performs best across all categories will become the 2023 Build Challenge Overall Winner.
