U.S. Department of Energy Race to Zero Student Design Competition (Race to Zero)

由专筑网缕夕，韩平编译

美国能源部学生设计竞赛——挑战“零能耗”，这一个面向大学开放的设计竞赛，将于2018年4月21日至22日在科罗拉多州的国家可再生能源实验室（NREL）进行的。

挑战“零能耗”，是一年一度的比赛，向任何感兴趣的大学院校的学生和教师开放。大学参赛者团队设计挑战零能源消耗的建筑物，其性能和能源效率都要求非常高，可以利用可再生能源来抵消一年中的所有或大部分能源消耗。通过这次比赛，可以为未来的建筑师、工程师、施工经理和企业家在清洁能源方面提供一些可供借鉴的经验和技能，为现实世界的能源问题创造出创新的解决方案。

详细请参见2018年新的比赛指南，团队报名申请网站和2017年的比赛结果。

下一场比赛的即将到来的日期：
•  2017年11月——所有参赛团队必须完成团队申请，并鼓励您提交一个3页的项目介绍。
•  2017年9月至2018年3月——提供网络研讨会和建筑科学培训。
•  2018年4月——入围小组完成项目提交，并与行业领导者进行汇报演讲。


比赛

大学团队面临设计问题，要求创建一个满足项目要求或重新设计现有平面图的新建筑设计。 强制性能目标是DOE零能源损耗住宅规范或即将推出的K-12学校建筑先进能源设计指南——实现零能源建筑。

每个团队花费4至10个月设计一座建筑物，在住宅和商业类别中的五场比赛中竞争：
• 住宅：
o郊区单户住房
o城市单户住房
o附属房屋
o小型住房
•商业或小学

共有40个邀请小组完成项目并参加了比赛活动，并将他们的设计展示给专家陪审员小组，将他们成果与其他团队的成果进行比较，从思考中学习，并与各种组织进行接触关于能源领域。


竞赛要求

每个团队必须由大学机构赞助，由至少三名学生和一名教师顾问组成，并有一个指定的团队领导。鼓励学生团队多学科参与，并有业界顾问，如当地的家庭建设者，帮助他们决策过程。

有关比赛要求的详细资料将刊登于2018年“学生设计比赛指南”。

Collegiate institutions can start planning for the U.S. Department of Energy Race to Zero Student Design Competition (Race to Zero), which is at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado, April 21–22, 2018.
The Race to Zero is an annual competition, open to students and faculty from any interested collegiate institution. The competition challenges collegiate teams to design zero energy ready buildings that are so high performance and energy efficient that all or most annual energy consumption can be offset with renewable energy. Through this competition, future architects, engineers, construction managers, and entrepreneurs gain the skills and experience to start careers in clean energy and generate creative solutions to real-world problems.
See the new 2018 competition guide, team application website, and the 2017 competition results.

Key upcoming dates for the next competition:
• November 2017 – All participating teams must complete the team application and are encouraged to submit a 3-page Project Introduction.
• September 2017 to March 2018 – Webinars and building science training are offered.
• April 2018 – Finalist teams complete their project submittals and compete with presentations to industry leaders.

The Competition
Collegiate teams are posed with a design problem and are asked to either create a new building design that satisfies the project requirements or redesign an existing floor plan. The mandatory performance target is the DOE Zero Energy Ready Home specification or the forthcoming Advanced Energy Design Guide For K-12 School Buildings–Achieving a Zero Energy Building.
Each team spends 4 to 10 months designing a building to compete in one of five contests within the residential and commercial categories:
• Residential:
o Suburban Single-Family Housing
o Urban Single-Family Housing
o Attached Housing
o Small Multifamily Housing
• Commercial:
o Elementary School.
A total of 40 invited teams complete the project and attend the competition event, where they present their designs to a panel of expert jurors, compare their efforts to those of other teams, learn from presentations by thought leaders, and engage with a variety of organizations about energy careers.

Competition Requirements
Each team must be sponsored by a collegiate institution, be comprised of at least three students and a faculty advisor, and have a designated team lead. Student teams are encouraged to be multidisciplinary and have industry advisors, such as local home builders, to help inform their decision-making process.
Details on the competition requirements will be published in the 2018 Student Design Competition Guide.
