ObjectivesTeam´s organization
01The event has a twofold purpose: educative and scientific. The Decathletes learn how to work in multi-disciplinary teams and how to face the challenges of the future of building by developing innovative solutions.
On the one hand, the public can see and become aware of the real possibilities of reducing the envi-ronmental impact and at the same time keeping the comfort and the quality of the design in their homes. On the other hand, professionals have access to te-chniques and processes that they can study and use.
Solar Decathlon Europe 2014 will take place in Paris, in Versalles. During the competition, the participating houses will compete on the ten contests of the com-petition:
1. Architecture2. Engineering and Construction3. Energy Efficiency4. Electrical Energy Balance5. Comfort Conditions6. House Functioning7. Communication and Social Awareness8. Urban Design, Transportation and Affordability9. Innovation10. Sustainability
Solar DecathlonSolar Decathlon Europe is an international competition among universities which promotes research in the development of efficient houses. The objec-tive of the participating teams is to design and build houses that consume as few natural resources as possible and produce minimum waste products during their life cycle. Particular emphasis is put on reducing energy consump-tion and on obtaining all the necessary energy from the sun.

Symbcity House, by Plateau Team, has been developed to solve an urgent urban challen-ge: to launch the full energetic rehabilitation of the outdated Spanish housing estate. Old, inefficient buildings are a main responsible of the pollution and the energy waste in our country.The construction of an efficient and more sustainable human habitat must try to fight and solve this exodus. The core of our old cities re-presents a huge energy waste for our countries and the whole planet. But at the same time, it represents the opportunity to prove that the compact city is the most balanced model for human settlings, as it concentrates the energy consuption and it reinforces the social links of the community.
Inspired by the mutual benefit relationship between natural organis-ms known as symbiosis, a new self-sufficient house will cooperate with the old buildings to reach the sustainability goals demanded to our cities.
SymbCity House colonizes the roofs of outdated buildings with an extra level of construction. They take advantage of a developed and well-connected location, while the sale of this extra urban land helps financing a global rehabilitation operation on the building. This way, we establish a reciprocal benefit between a host building and guest housing units.

Being a prototype that shows how this operation could take place in a real situation, the translation from the top of an old building roof to the SDE site keeps as many features as possible to make the pro-posal accurate to the real life situation is trying to solve, including the external structure which supports the construction without interference with the old construction.
The prototype is composed by a complete Symbci-ty House appartment for 2 people, v and a 1,30m high basement representing the “host” building. It performs the external look and an indoor scenogra-phy of the daily life of the original inhabitants of the building.
Symbcity House begins with an external wooden trus-sed structure. It creates an extra space 1 metre wide for the host house, increasing its surface and crea-ting an air chamber where heat from solar gains can
be stored, reducing heating consumptions in winter. The structure is also used to incorporate improved accesibility for people with disabilities.
Following a standardized pattern, we generate the three main areas of the house. The first one contains the bedroom and the house living core, where daily activities such as cooking, eating and rest take place. The second space, the technical block, contains the home facilities, bathroom and kitchen.
The third space is the multifunctional room, which is a very flexible space that can be adapted depending of the change of the seasons.It becomes a cool place in summer, with sunshading, cross ventilation and a vertical garden which keeps the air fresh. During the cold months, the envelope is completely closed, be-coming a greenhouse which provides extra heating to the house.

Symbcity House is a fast and industrialized construc-tion. The whole system has been built following the balloon-frame system, made entirely with wood ba-sed materials. We introduce an innovative system of industrialized wall sections. With this system the transport and execution are cheap and fast,reducing the energy waste during the construction period.
The walls of the builiding are composed of thick la-yers of insulating material, archieving passivhaus standards, while Phase Change Materials on the in-ternal side of the wall keep a balanced indoor tem-perature without extra energy waste.
Solar gains are carefully controlled by eaves and other sun - shading devices. This way, we obtain a good balance between passive and active energy saving strategies, archieving a nearly zero energy consumptionThe heating and cooling conditioning system are ba-
sed on a low temperature radiant ceiling, with very low heat and electricity consumptions. Besides, the constant monitoring of the house activates a series of simple mechanisms in order to take advantage of external conditions or protect the house against them .
Following a symbiotic approach towards the sustai-nability, SymbCity House gets from the sun all the energy that it needs, with a positive energy balance. The extra power is given to the host building, esta-blishing this way a reciprocal benefit between a host building and guest housing units.With this positive model, the energetic transforma-tion of our cities will become a widespread pheno-menon by individual operations focused on the re-use of existing buildings.
A new city without denying the city of our past.

05The University of Alcalá was founded by Cardinal Cisneros in 1499 as a completely new educational project. Masters like Nebrija, Juan de la Cruz, Lope de Vega, Quevedo, etc. studied and taught here. The prestige of both, university studies and professors, soon became the model on which the new universities were established in America. Due to: the uniqueness of the university model, the historical contribution to the arts and sciences, and the beautiful architecture of its buildings; UNESCO declared the University of Alcalá, a World Heritage Site on December 2, 1998.
At present, the University of Alcalá is a modern, medium sized institution, which is recognized in Europe and America as a role model. The renowned quality of its university studies, the development of important research projects, its international relations, the historical and artistic interest of its iconic buildings, its new and modern facilities and its complete adaptation to the demands of today´s labor market, are the reasons why the University of Alcalá is at the very forefront of public universities.
The University of Castilla-La Mancha began its first steps in 1985, but was formally established by law on June 30th, 1982, as the result of political auto-nomy and collective desire expressed by the society of Castilla-La Mancha, and shared by the regional government.
From its modest beginnings three decades ago, the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM) has become a reference for higher education in the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha. It has campuses in Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca and Toledo, and university headquarters in Talavera de la Reina and Almadén, and it is a modern and competitive institu-tion with over 30,000 students, 2,300 teachers and researchers and 1,200 service and administration staff.

OBJECTIVESIn “Plateau Team” we have a very clear objective: gai-ning professional experience by facing the challenge of searching a new building system that can be able to absorb the population growth in a controlled and sustainable way. We can not continue with the current model of land consumption: we must become aware of the capacity of available resources and avoid over-burdening the system. This raising awareness creates a symbiotic organism benefiting all parts involved.
To achieve a sustainable development it is necessary to provide solutions to absorb these dynamics of development that, is why we are committed to sustai-nable densification of the existing urban structures.
TEAM’S ORGANIZATIONPlateau Team is organized into three working groups: design, communication and finance. They are com-posed of students from both universities that work together to form a multidisciplinary group in all three fields.
There are regular meetings scheduled for each group, and there is a weekly coordinators meeting, involving both universities, in which they share their progress and questions.

kshop of the Solar Decathlon competition 2014 was
held in Paris, coinciding with the Ecobat fair. The 20
selected teams together with the 7 standby teams, at-
tended the meeting.
On the 20th, after the accreditation of the teams,
Pascal Rollet from the organization, outlined the points
that would be treated in the two-day workshop. Then,
one by one, the Faculty Advisors and the Student Team
Leaders presented themselves to the rest of the teams
and the organization with their respective country flag
and team shirt. They also presented the basic ideas
of their prototypes. Plateau Team was named in the
13th position. Once all the teams were presented, the-
re was a meeting with Mme. Cécile Duflot, minister
of territorial equality and housing, in the Solar Deca-
thlon´s stand.
After a welcome cocktail, the 27 teams were moved
to the “Cité du Soleil” at Versailles, which is currently
under construction. There the organization explained
to the teams the location of the prototypes, the agora,
the area for sponsors... The stay at Versailles ended
with a reception with Mme. Catherine Pègard, presi-
dent of the public foundation of the palace; and with
an interior visit to the palace.
The day concluded with a dinner with all the 27 teams
and the organization; and with a boat ride on the Sei-
ne.
On day 21, after a coffee reception, roundtables be-
gan with different points to discuss. These points whe-
re: design, construction and in the last place, finan-
cing. After lunch, and some interviews to the teams,
the roundtables continued with communication issues,
“Cité du Soleil” and the management of the workspa-
ce set up for the teams.

On april 18th, Changes on regula-tions in force were analyzed, the importance of the Energy Performance Certificate was presented, and the entry into force of the Housing and Land Integral Plan, which was approved on 5 April. The plan not only includes the Ener-gy Performance Certificate but also other aspects such as rehabilitation and urban renewal and regeneration.
“II Workshop almost zero energy buildings” (EECN). On 13 September, Plateau Team attended II Workshop almost zero energy buildings. It intended as a forum for reflection to address the implications for the construction industry, architecture and related services adoption of the European Directive on the Energy Perfor-mance of Buildings (Directive 2010/31/UE).
“LCA at Torroja Institute”. On 27th September we had a course about LCA really interesting at Torroja Insti-tute. We learned how to perform a Life Cycle Analysis and regulation currently exists on the subject.
“AURhEA Workshop”. On 19 September we partici-pated in AURhEA Workshop, a unique showcase to raise awareness of professionals and the general public on different aspects influencing the comprehensive rehabilita-tion, both from a policy perspective, aid and programs, as applicable solutions to each case. practical way.
“Thermography course”. In collaboration with Sergio Melgosa, of the E-Building company, a company of energy efficiency dedicated to energy analysis and Thermogra-phic, we had the possibility to do a training course at the Eduardo Torroja Institute of science and construction of CSIC.
“11 Dic - Congress EECN”. On December 11 we had the possibility of participating in the III Workshop buil-dings energy almost nil, “building - neighborhood - city of energy consumption nearly zero: Identification of similari-ties and differences depending on the scale of action”, at the Sala Retiro of Madrid on IFEMA fairgrounds.
17 Nov - Visit Homes SD2007. November 17 we had the opportunity to visit the “Solar House” that participated in the US Solar Decathlon of 2007, it is currently set in the campus de Montegancedo of the UPM. We visited the two models they have installed there, both used for scientific means.
28 March 2014 - Occupational hazards construc-tion course. On 28 March we attended the “Course of risks and preventive measures in the sector of the cons-truction” gived by FREMAP, and directed by our safety and health coordinator, in which we learnt all about risks and preventive measures in the field of construction.
CONFERENCES >>Plateau Team believes that continuous education is essential to obtain a project adapted to modern times, making use of new developments in ter-ms of regulations, materials, building systems, etc. Therefore, we attended

CONTESTS IN SOCIAL MEDIA >>PHOTOGRAFIC CONTEST
From 1 to 19 May, 2013, on the occasion of the European Solar Day celebration, the Communication area from Plateau Team released, in different social networks, a quickly photo contest. Selected photogra-phs, besides the two universities expose team mem-bers, will be exhibited at the prototype at Versailles and appear in various publications that are preparing
now.
BASEMENT + THEMATIC RAMP CONTESTParallel to the project definition raised the idea of a lower basement that reflect and simulate the lifes-tyle and the people who live in buildings where in the future will be placed on the prototype in the city, simulation, for scenery, which gives some identity to our proposal.
To develop this idea of scenery the communication area of the team launched a design contest open to all fields: design, graphic arts, scenery ... for the de-sign of the basement and ramp issue, which borders the parcel to access the prototype, it is also an appeal to the incorporation of new partners to the team and thus enhance the idea of multidisciplinary team we have had since the beginning of the competition.
