Plateau Team, of the University of Alcalá de Henares, is one of the twenty equipment participants in the next Solar Decathlon Europe (SDE) 2014, an international competition between universities that promotes the investigation in the development of efficient houses, and whose aim is the design and the construction of houses that consummate the lower possible quantity of natural resources and produce the minimum waste during his cycle of life, doing special emphasis in the reduction of the consumption of power and in the obtaining of all the necessary power from the sun. Plateau Team Competes with his house ‘SymbCity House' representing to Spain in front of other nineteen equipment of all the world (Japan, EE UU, Germany, Taiwan, France, Italy, Mexico, Costa Rica...).
The members of the Plateau Team carry almost two years trabando very hard in this project and at last approaches the end, the moment to build the house and carry it to Versalles. The competition demands them that they build the house in Spain, disassemble it and in trucks carry it until Versalles where will have 10 days to go back to build it. After 15 days of competition in which the house will be opened to the public and will be subjected to a series of proofs that evaluate all the appearances of the house and the project, will go back to disassemble in a week and will bring homeward.
‘SymbCity House'.
When being a university competition all the materials and bottoms come from of sponsors (Kömmerling is collaborating in this project with the installation of windows with his systems of PVC that guarantee the maximum energetic efficiency), but still Plateau Team needs to fund the transport of SymbCity House to Paris. For this has opened a campaign of crowfunding in Dripping to raise funds: http://goteo.org/project/symbcity-house. A campaign of crowfunding realizar through a platform in which the cofinanciadores engage to do a donation in return of gifts, but the payment and the rewards only will do effective if it arrives to a minimum quantity of money, that in this case is of €7.790 (have 40 days to reach this aim).
