Did you know that we’re participating in the 2022 U.S Department of Energy Solar Decathlon design challenge? The goal of this competition is to modify a building to make it as renewable and sustainable as possible!
Right now we are nearing the conclusion of our dry run, a project to prepare for the upcoming competition. We’re modifying the design of the UVic Student Union Building (SUB) to contain a renewable hybrid energy system.
Our system will contain photovoltaic panels with the integration of piezoelectric components, geothermal heating, and will utilize rainwater harvesting for the main water source. Our very own Satria Brunner has developed an updated waste management procedure as seen in the pic below.
