The winner of the competition is the team that is able to score the most points in ten contests. On November 15, 2016, the Moroccan Ministry of Energy, Mines, Water, and Sustainable development; the Moroccan Research Institute in Solar Energy and New Energies (IRESEN); and the United States Department of Energy signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on the development of Solar Decathlon Africa, a competition that will integrate unique local and regional characteristics while following the philosophy, principles, and model of the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon. The competition is planned for September 2019. This competition takes place during even years, alternating with the U.S.-based competition, Solar Decathlon by agreement between the United States and Moroccan governments. == Solar Decathlon Africa 2019 == The 2019 edition of the Solar Decathlon Africa will take place in Ben Guerir, Morocco Participants: == Contests == Architecture Engineering and Construction Market Appeal Comfort Conditions Appliances Sustainability Home life and entertainment Communication and Social Awareness Electrical Energy and Balance Innovation == See also == Solar Decathlon Solar Decathlon China Solar Decathlon Europe Solar Decathlon Middle East Solar Decathlon Latin America and Caribbean == References == - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 01 - Definitions]] - [[Design/Architectural Design]] - [[Design/Building Typologies/Healthcare Architecture]] - [[Building Construction/Area Programming]] - [[Professional Practice/Public & Cultural]] - [[History and Theory/Temple Architecture/Stone Temples of India/pillars]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards]] - [[Digital Architecture/ePractice/Computational Design]] - [[Urban and Planning/Urban Design and Planning]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 06 - Structural Design/Section 7B - Systems Building]] == External links == Solar Decathlon Africa Main Website U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon Solar Decathlon Europe 2019 Solar Decathlon Europe 2014 Solar Decathlon Latin America and Caribbean Solar Decathlon Middle East Solar Decathlon China
