2ND INTERNATIONAL WORKING PHASE MEETING OF THE IEA EBC ANNEX 74 “COMPETITION & LIVING LAB PLATFORM”

The 2nd international Working Phase Meeting and a first Annex 74 workshop was held from 16th to 17th of November at the Solar Decathlon Middle East Competition in Dubai.
Annex 74 (http://annex74.iea-ebc.org) aims to set up an authorized international platform for the evolution and linking of existing competitions and living labs as well as discussing new concepts. The concepts may encompass the building as well as the district level including sustainable mobility. The main target group are participants from the field of the academic education of architects and engineers, linked to the building industry.
The workshop on “Simulation & Monitoring” has been held for the SDEME teams on November 16th strengthening their knowledge on these topics and has been received very positive by the team members.
During the Working Phase Meeting, the progress of the Annex 74 work has been discussed; the current state of the Knowledge Platform (https://building-competition.org/) has been presented, the integration of Living Labs in the platform have been debated and future activities have been defined.
An important point has been the discussion about helping to encourage the generation of educational materials within future Solar Decathlon Competitions or post-competition Living Lab activities.
Educational Videos are a powerful tool, as many prototypes might not be in a perfect shape of operation after the competition. They might consist in general "Making of…" videos, guided visit videos about specific technical solutions and concepts e.g. BIPV, energy storage, HVAC, Lighting, Water cycle, Bioclimatic strategies, or post-competition videos, done when prototypes are on their final destination (e.g. a university campus), stating the operation and performance under real conditions of use and over a longer period. Living Lab LOW3 has gained important experience in this field through its associated MOOC course (http://livinglab-low3.blogspot.com/2018/03/mooc-low3-zero-living-officially-started.html)
The next Annex 74 meetings 2019 will take place in Ghent (BE) and Szentendre (HU) during the 2019 SDE Competition (http://sde2019.hu/index_en.html). Dubai will host another SDME in 2020 and will announce the call for teams soon. The results of the SDME 2018 competition can be found here: https://sdme-contest.com/
