2.CZECH REPUBLIC – AIR HOUSE (3rd)
3.NORWICH (12th)
4. STEVEN-ECOHABIT (4th)
1-The University of North Carolina at Charlotte
This building has solar panels for using natural light and saving energy . Green wall and lots of planets are used for design on the nice way. Also , the green wall out side of the building can provide more privacy for inside the building too.
2- Team Alberta: University of Calgary
Designers divided the spaces on very interesting way ; two simple room for bed room an one complicated room for kitchen. They use green wall inside the building. They provide solar energy for building. building hag large windows that is good for using of natural light.
3-Southern California Institute of Architecture and California Institute of Technology
Designers provide solar panel for saving energy and they have done it on the interesting way. The building has potential to have court yard. The furniture is lined up with the detail of the design ( spatially the lines on the ceiling).
4- Arizona State University and The University of New Mexico
That is a good design. They provide good shade and shadow for building for better using of sun light. They use light colors inside of the building , so the spec seems larger. The building has solar panel for saving energy too.

Top Four Solar Decathlon 2013 projects part 1
1. Stanford University (cs 5)
Fancy open interior(public) that is link with porch. Plus side the interior is very luminous because of the ribbon clear story and curtain glass wall in front and the back side of the building respectively.
2. Missouri University of Science and Technology (cs 16)
“The prominent photovoltaic system is optimized for flat roofs and uses reflectors between the rows of panels to increase total energy production.”
3. Team Austria (cs 1)
Like team Stanford the interior of this building is also luminous but in a different way. The interior of the building is open to two exterior patios which the team states it “create a balance between interior and exterior and public and semi-public spaces.”
4. University of Nevada Las Vegas (cs 2)
Weathered wood rain screen shades is the biggest move in term of design in this building.
