Rule 6 The Project 6.1. Design Approval Structural Design Approval - Each team must submit structural drawings and calculations that have been signed and stamped by a qualified licensed professional. a). By signing and stamping the structural drawings and calculations, the licensed professional certifies that the structural provisions of the Solar Decathlon Europe Building Code have been met by the design, and that the structure is safe for the public to enter if it has been built as designed. b). The licensed professional must sign and stamp the structural drawings and calculations of the house and all site components that might pose a threat to public safety if they fail. Electrical and Photovoltaic Design Approval - Each team must submit electrical drawings and calculations that have been signed and stamped by a qualified licensed professional. They will include the conventional electrical installation as well as the photovoltaic installation. a). By signing and stamping the electrical drawings and calculations, the licensed professional certifies that the electrical provisions of the Solar Decathlon Europe Building Code have been met by the design, and that the electric system is safe for the public to enter if it has been built as designed. b). The licensed professional must sign and stamp the electrical drawings and calculations of the house and all site components that might pose a threat to public safety if they fail. Codes Design Compliance - Each team must submit a document certifying compliance with the country of origin codes, signed by the faculty advisor. a). By signing this document, the Faculty Advisor certifies that the house complies with all the codes of the country of origin, therefore the house is safe for the public to enter if it has been built as designed. 6.2. Maximum Architectural Footprint The architectural footprint as defined below cannot exceed 150.0 m2 a). The footprint includes the entire area within the defined building perimeter (including the house and the site components) as well as active systems simulating urban systems set outside of the Measurable Area (see 6.3). b). The deck or platform is not included in the architectural footprint. c). For “openings” located within the footprint: if there are elements of the “openings” which visually continue the house aesthetics, the total area of these “openings” will be included in the architectural footprint. (“Openings” are patios located in the footprint perimeter).
