The objective of the module IV thesis project is the development, implementation
and support of prototype self-suffi cient solar house for the Solar Decathlon
‘FabLabHouse’ Europe. The prototype will be constructed entirely in
IaaC premises, pre-assembled here in 20 modules to be transported and assembled
in Madrid, where it will compete from 18th – 28th June against prototypes
developed and implemented by 20 other universities worldwide.
Each student or group applies expertise to each of the technological systems
and construction involved with the house (PV skin, closing facilities, climate,
structure, interior fi nishes, landscaping, logistics …), taking charge of their development,
production , preparation and assembly facilities within IaaC / Fab-
LabBCN
Also, all the team of the module IV thesis project will fl y to Madrid with the
