This page describes the organization of the Solar Decathlon Team, as reflected through CS/EE/ME 75. This page is in draft form, pending discuss with the IPT.

Mission Statement

The mission of the SCI-Arc/Caltech team is to design and build a stylish, affordable net-zero home well suited to the Los Angeles urban area. The project will highlight the innovative work of the two unique institutions by implementing new design solutions to the affordable, sustainable housing market. As an integral part of the design/build process, the SCI-Arc/Caltech team will engage the city of Los Angeles in a series of public outreach programs to locally educate the community about the merits of sustainable design. This spirit of extending the merits of sustainable design into the general public and city are integrated into the team's fundamental marketing strategy — informing a design that can be populated across L.A. into a number of strategic locations, thus addressing densification through infill and multi-unit development.

Operating Principles

• High level strategic principles that will guide the activities of the team for the 2011 Solar Decathlon. Should be consistent with mission statement.
• Example: develop and demonstrate cutting edge energy monitoring and management technologies
