The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon (DOE/SD) is a collegiate competition, comprising 10 contests, that challenges student teams to design and build highly efficient and innovative buildings powered by renewable energy. The winners will be those teams that best blend architectural and engineering excellence with innovation, market potential, building efficiency, and smart energy production. The DOE/SD is comprised of two Challenges--Design Challenge (annual, in April of each year at NREL in Golden, Colo.) and Build Challenge (biennial, held next in June/July 2020 in Washington D.C.). NREL provides competition management for DOE/SD. For over 35 years, EEBA has provided the most trusted resources for building science information and education in the construction industry. EEBA delivers turn-key educational resources and events designed to transform residential construction practices through high performance design, marketing, materials, and technologies. NREL and EEBA establish this CRADA to enable the success of the DOE/SD program in managing sponsorship funds and creating a professional education program. EEBA acted as an Education Partner to DOE/SD, which included: 1) accepting and dispersing sponsorship funds for DOE/SD; and 2) providing professional development content.
