Press Release - April 13 2011
Project discription
Since our last press release we have focused on maintaining and consolidating the contact between the team and DTU students in a broader sense as well as companies and
sponsors.
We held this year’s first Solar Decathlon Workshop March 19, it was a success (details
below).
Pavilion at the Roskilde Festival
As we briefly mentioned in the previous press release, we have started collaboration with
the student organization Grøn Vision (Green Vision). This cooperation has now led to
collaboration with Roskilde Festival. Roskilde Festival is Europe’s second biggest music
festival, and each summer more than 100,000 are attending the festival. Besides music,
the festival is focusing on charity and humanitarian issues.
The Roskilde Festival and Team DTU - Solar Decathlon Europe 2012 has agreed that a a
demo version (a pavilion) of our Solar Decathlon house will be build in the media area.
The pavilion will be used for interviews with artists and organizers, and will thus be exposed and broadcasted both locally and internationally.
The Roskilde pavilion has been turned into a “project within the project”, and it has created great interest among students. The pavilion is build by students who have a craftsman education before starting their studies at DTU. They are involved in the production
of construction drawings and will get supervision by faculty as well as ECTS-points.
Besides showing the pavilion to the public, it is also a unique opportunity to test various
concepts, before final kick off in Madrid in 2012.
Festival guests get the opportunity - through a mobile phone app - to follow the pavilion
data and simultaneously participate in energy and climate-related events. In this way
the awareness and interest in the Solar Decathlon and Team DTU will be significantly
increased.
Later, the pavilion could possible be used for similar purposes in other festivals in Denmark.

Workshop March 19 2011
Our workshop was a great success. We had more than 20 of the leading experts and professionals, with expertise in fields ranging from mobile homes to overall cradle-to-cradle
strategies. To get the most out of the event, participants were divided into 4 smaller
groups, working with carefully prepared workshop questions:
•
•
•
•
Green Energy
Daylight and Dynamic Components
Green Entrepreneurship
LCA and Construction Materials
The day was very intense, and many interesting and relevant topics were discussed.
Many questions were raised, and we have a lot of work in front of us - in order to answer
them.
We created good relationships between the participants and are looking forward to the
future collaboration. The conclusions from the workshop group were edited and nicely
layouted and send to all participants as a small publication.

Collaborating institutions and sponsoring companies
Currently we have a good dialogue with a number of Danish companies. So far, we have
had positive responses from Velux, Nilan and Sunsil.
The Danish pump manufacturer Grundfos has become one of our main sponsors.
We have started a collaboration with the student organization Grøn Vision (Green Vision). Through them we can reach an even larger audience - and cooperation has already
resulted in an exhibition at the Roskilde Festival
