4 SDE rules checklist
RULE 32 TABLE OF CONTENTS
Most users of the document will be reviewing it electronically and will navigate using the PDF bookmarks and hyperlinks. For the benefit of the reviewers and jurors, Teams must use the basic bookmarking structure and section titles supplied by the SDE 2014 Organization.
Remember that some users will print the document, so make sure that the printed version is also easy to navigate, i.e., clearly numbered sections and/or pages are essential. Also remember to design the margins appropriately. For example, the SDE2014 Rules PDF document is intended for electronic and printed viewing, so we included PDF bookmarks and hyperlinks, as well as margins and end-of-section blank pages designed for double-sided, spiral-bound, portrait printing. A similar approach is recommended for the Project Manual. It might be a good idea to do a “test print” of some or all of the document to make sure everything prints successfully and looks OK in a 3-ring binder.

5.1 Architecture Design Narrative
Our house design concept is based on the Taiwanese local conditions, however, we are confident that those systems are applicable to any other locations of earth. We are expecting much drier climate condition during the Solar Decathlon Europe 2014 in Versailles, France, which is almost opposite climate from one in Taiwan. It will be challenging for us to archive the house to function in the both dry and wet condition well, however, this experience will lead us to market our house in different cities and countries.

In order to best use of the solar envelope, we design the house to be 7 meters high and draw a square down. Secondly, the bottom side of square is shifted towards south to gain better southern sun exposure. Finally, the top plane is sloped to catch maximum solar energy.
The Orchid House finds the best relationships between building envelope and thermal envelope. On one hand, the building envelope incorporates lightweight structure of a green house to reduce heat gain during summer time and heat lost during wintertime. On the other hand, the thermal envelope will control the interior space with high efficiency HVAC system. These two envelopes create a mediate zone, which reduce the fluctuation of temperature and humidity. The green house space mainly uses water heating/cooling system as passive thermal system, while the HVAC system intakes the air from the green house space in order to reduce the load of heating and
Massing Development
Building Envelope & Thermal Envelope
BUILDING ENVELOPE
THERMAL ENVELOPE
The programs are strategically placed to utilize passive thermal system, such as allocating machine room and water tank room in the north side to avoid heat loss of living space, and also the south side living room maintains maximum heat gain and natural daylight. The main living space is accompanied with dining and kitchen and it allows flexible configuration of the house. The sliding doors open to the green house space to gain larger and comfortable shaded sun deck area, so the user can take advantage of the additional space. Meanwhile, the living space could be divided into one extra bedroom with convertible sofa bed for the guest to stay.
Floor Plan
We have studied and analyzed the advance technology of Taiwanese orchid nursery, and adapt it into the Orchid House. The mediate zone cools down the air and becomes a social space. In Taiwan, families like to sit outside after dinner and enjoy some quality time together. We want to recreate the same feeling with the Orchid House and extend the living area, with real Orchid plants growing here.
The staircase leads to the rooftop on the semi-outdoor living space. It serves as laundry area and it is large enough to host a tea party, which is very common afternoon event in Taiwan. The Orchid house incorporates transparent photovoltaic system, with PV cells laminated within clear glass panels and creates comfortably shaded space on the rooftop balcony.

Projection of Future Application: Rooftop
Taiwan is deemed to be one of the most diversified countries in the world, not only because of its richness of nature, but also social values which cause unique phenomenon. Due to lack of space, we are always trying to enlarge the living space. In order to do so, residences do lots of extension on the rooftop. In fact, the rooftop with water tanks and the metal roof are obvious problems. Generally speaking, people owning the top floor in Taiwan would utilize the rooftop space for extending their living space. Some of them become nice roof gardens, which reducing the heat island effect and compose into a pleasant view within the city fabric. However, water tanks and the metal roof form an unpleasant skyline, which becomes a culture characteristic of Taiwan.
In order to change the culture landscape caused by living necessity, NCTU UNICODE takes serious consideration to not only make an improvement of the visual part but also provide a sustainable system, which could increase the energy generation and cuts down the house utility costs. Since this sustainable roofing system could be beneficial for environment, there are more potential possibility and feasibility of marketing in the near future. http://vita203.blogspot.tw/2012/11/112.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/ ttk/2918965848/
Our intension is to create a single dwelling prototype focusing on the environment issue, which can reduce heat island effect and build a feasible drainage system as a role of cleaning the city. This is an urgent task of all residence on the island. We want to use the “green rooftop system” to create passive wind ventilation system, the drainage system and the passive solar system that respond to energy saving. Thus, these environmental strategies will accelerate the speed of reaching the goal of sustainability.
Projection of Future Application: Social Housing
It is perfect timing for people in Taiwan to rethink the “social housing issue” for a few reasons. First of all, the term “social housing” is sometimes considered as a solution for insufficient living space, also as unaffordable price for housing. In reality, social housing is built for the reason of “de-commodification”, and intend to help low-income household, labors, single parents and so on to have higher quality living space. Unfortunately, due to the interference of real estate agencies, it became more complicated for government and builders to invest on social housing.
It is urgent to increase social housing, and the statistics have listed only 0.8% in Taiwan, which is extremely low compare to the other countries. It is also low compare to privately owned housing. Therefore, it is clear to us that we need to rethink the issue and provide a better solution about the way and methods which social housing has been made. With the new strategies that NCTU UNICODE provides, we believe there is a big potential to attract general public and organizations to market social housing.

With the advance technology and building systems, the industrialization manufacturing process can reduce the load of builders and shorten the time of making, which could lower the construction budget. It is our goal to make our house simple, affordable and safe. Therefore, we focus on using local material and prefabricating methods. Currently, there is a trend of converting farmland into residential use in low-density cities in Taiwan, especially south side of the island where has abundant solar energy. Therefore, solar house that is equipped with good passive and active solar strategies will have a big market here. We provide not only the better function of each house unit but also the blueprint of the collective social housing. NCTU UNICODE creates a prototype of a high-efficiency green system by transforming our single dwelling design into multi-floor collective housing, we will collect power through PV system and the energy will use for the service area of the housing, and the savings in terms of utility bills will and then being shared by all residence. This way, not only the top floors can benefit from the solar house, but also the entire community. For these reason, we are sure that these strategies are beneficial to large communities in a long run. http://163.20.110.130/~map/jobs.html

Structural Design
Lightweight Structure Building Envelope Thermal EnvelopeThe Orchid house’s structural system is divided into two different elements. The lightweight structural system is applied for the building envelope and the SIPs (structural insulated panels) system is for the thermal mass envelope. All the structural elements are prefabricated in factories for easy transportation and short construction time.
The lightweight structure system is composed by steel, which made with 100% recycled material and also non-toxic material. This system allows easy handling and installing the building envelope. The SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) system is the ideal structural system for the thermal envelop portion of the house since it is a self-standing structure as well as pre-insulated system, and also it is extremely strong, energy efficient and cost effective for saving time, cost, and labor.

Material for the Project Dissemination
For the social network, we set up the “Solar Decath- lon - Orchid House Facebook Page“ (http://www.fa- cebook.com/TWSDE), and keep posting the dissemi-nation of NCTU UNICODE.
Through the statistic of Facebook, we can analyze the source of social network target audience, devel-op the potential audience groups, and evaluate the response and feedback.
According to the statistic, the majority of our audience is in their twentieth to thirtieth and also located in Tai-wan, even though we collect some from Japan, Hong Kong, UK, and USA.
These statistics indicates the potential audience we can farther develop. One of our main goals for the Orchid house project is to arouse the social awareness of clean energy in Taiwan, and we believe our majority audi- ence plays the influential and powerful role in our society. Thus, as the starting point of the project dissemina-tion, we have acquired enough potential for broaden our audience through the new social network.

5.5 Industrialization and marke report
Introduction
A.General Research of Housing Market in Taiwan
The intension of our solar house is to design a single dwelling prototype, which can be easily developed into a large scale of collective public housing. We think these two strategies will expand the market of sustain¬able housing in Taiwan. In order to have a better understanding of our potential users and create an affordable hous-ing module, it is important to initiate a market study that covers the average family income per household and average housing price in Taiwan.
Taiwan housing market can be divided into 3 groups, such as “Below 35 year-old”, “35~64 year-old”, and “Above 65 year-old”. However, the majority is 35-64 year-old.
The average housing price of Taipei is NTD 705K per pin, which is equal to €6184 per sq.m..
The Social housing price is much lower than average housing price in the same district.
B. General Research of Global Housing Market Viability

From the chart of “Rich/Poor Gap in Taiwan”, the income gap between Rich and Poor in Taiwan is huge and in-creases rapidly in the past years. Take the year of 2008 to 2010 as an example, the percentage of Rich to Poor is up to 93%, and the income NTD$4200K/Year of the richest is extremely higher than the income NTD$460K/Year with the gap of NTD$4294K.
Annual Salary USD$36,808 of Taiwan is 1/4 of the overall annual salary. This is describing our labor cost is much lower than other developed countries.

Gross rental yields (%) in Europe and Asia The gross annual rental income, expressed as a percentage of property purchase price. This is what a landlord can expect as return on his investment before taxes, mainte-nance fees and other costs.
The properties are 120-sq. m. apartments located in premier city centers.
In this graphic, the gross annual rental income of Taiwan is relatively much lower than most of the countries in Asia and Europe.
We take that as an opportunity of market viability opportunity to have a deeper ob-servation and research in the further market research.

After a detailed market study, we have came to a conclusion that our target users age are under 3 brackets: be-low 35 years old, between 35~64 years old, and above 65 years old. The potential housing types in Taiwan are social housing and rental housing, and statistics have shown inadequate number of social housing. Therefore, it is ideal to apply the solar strategies toward this housing type.
Furthermore, the modules should be designed to fit in the shipping container, so it can travel easily oversea. The parts are prefabricated and in manageable size to avoid using large machinery. We aim to provide high quality good design to our oversea users with low construction cost. Here are some of the related research topics we will conduct in the next stage: - Cost of construction / material / facilities and comparison worldwide - Energy consumption of household and comparison worldwide - Specific consumption of water/electrical appliances and comparison worldwide - Farmland study - Rooftop study
5.6 Innovation report
Innovation in Architecture
The designing of the Orchid House aims to produce a comfortable living space which can be sustained with minimum amount of required energy and other natural resources. To achieve this goal, a number of innova-tive ideas will be examined and incorporated into the design of the house, and this includes a recycling water system, an adaptive building envelop and the use of smart materials.
dew drop
sustainable water systeml
Rather than simply considering the supply and con-sumption of fresh water for living, in Orchid House, water harvest, fresh water, grey water, along with HVAC and water-cooling building skins will be integrated into one sustainable water system. That is, grey water will be treated and recycled, and in addition to fresh water supply, the house will have various water resources in-cluding rain and condensed water from dew and HVAC. A passive dew harvest design will be tested and imple-mented as part of the whole building envelope system. Water in this integrated system, fresh, harvested or recycled, will be used for general household consump-tion, in addition to water-cooling screens, fitted into exterior walls, which in turn reduces the use of electric-ity for cooling purpose.
The building envelop of Orchid House will be equipped with adaptive designs, which enable the house to respond to weather conditions. The adaptability takes place in three major aspects: shading, opening and water-cooling. With specially designed kinetic ma-chineries, the building envelope will able to change its statuses in providing sun shades and openings corre-sponding to sun exposure and air flow. In addition, with the embedded water-cooling screens, it can, without kinetic movements, adapt to the exterior temperature with moisture generated by the screens.
contribute to sustainability by reducing the consumption of energy or natural resource. For Orchid House, a few materials are being exam-ined. Memory alloy, for instance, can be adopted into the design of adaptive building envelop as the actuating mechanism, which does not rely on electricity to operate. Special hydrophile paint, with chemicals providing necessary properties, such as TiO2, can be used on exterior surfaces to minimize the amount of water needed for clean-ing or coolclean-ing purposes.
5.7 Sustainablity report
Introduction: Sustainability concept applied
We can all learn from Nature. A house is like a plant. The leaves create dewdrops, and the root absorbs water, circulate in the stems, and the leaves performs photosynthesis. This cycle creates water and energy, properly stored, then supply to the entire plant. Our house will function the same, as the solar panels absorb light from the sun, converted and stored in the battery, then supply to the rest of the house. We can also harvest our own water, circulate, recycle and reuse.
Our house design concept is based on the Taiwanese local conditions, however, we believe those systems are applicable to any other locations of earth. Here are the sustainable approaches to the house, which we have incorporated during the design process:
1. Light weight structure with BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic) system 2. Highly insulated structural panel for living space
3. Solar thermal water device for radiant flooring
4. Humidity and temperature control system develop upon the green house technology. 5. Water circulation systems
To create and control a comfortable living environment, we incorporate a special building system at the Orchid House. First is to create a skin, which is semi-covered for shading and ventilation purpose. Inside core is the actual living area, where we will have a well-controlled system to keep temperature and humidity level even.

6 Dinner Party Menue
Festival of Taiwan
At the Orchid House, we would like to bring our guests an unforgettable and spectacular dinner, Taiwanese style. Taiwan is a country of food, we hope our guests can enjoy not only food, but the special drinks which make Taiwanese cuisine known in the world.
To welcome our guests, we begin with a toast to a more sustainable future, with Taiwan made special Gaoliang Liquor, which is often drunk during celebration. The cook then takes the liquor and start making the first appetizer, which is the Mullet Roe. It is best soaked in Gaoliang for a minute then put in the pan to cook with slow heat, until it is golden brown. The delicate texture of Mullet Roe is tangy and soft. 2nd course would be the Chinese Chicken Salad, which is an Asian flavored dish, specially prepared with the freshest ingredients.
Our main dish of the night would be Dongbo Pork (Braised Pork), served with steamed bread to balance the savory flavor. The dish is named after the Song Dynasty poet, artist and calligrapher Su Dongpo, to celebrate the health and prosperity.
Finally, we bring the sweet Almond Tofu to satisfy the taste pallet of everyone. It is often decorate with flower paddles, and this time, we will use the beautiful orchid paddle on the plate. It does not only tastes great, it is visually pleasing, too.
To conclude our dinner party, we would like to invite our guests to the 2nd floor balcony space. In Taiwan, families and friends often enjoy tea and chitchat after dinner. Our guests will enjoy the Taiwanese high mountain tea with the view from the 2nd floor.
Taiwanese is also famous for our hospitalities, and we never let our guests go home empty handed. Thus, guests can go home with a box of pineapple cake to share with their friends.
