Sunshine for Low-Carbon Emission Living

Supporting solar energy and low-carbon emissions, the Delta Electronics Foundation sponsored the 2011 Delta Cup International Solar Building Design Competition in China. The event ended with an award ceremony in Beijing, China on September 2nd.

Attending the awarding ceremony and presenting awards were Delta Electronics Foundation Chairman Mr. Bruce Cheng and board member Mr. Ping Cheng, President of the Chinese Renewable Energy Society Mr. Dinghuan Shi, Deputy Director of the Ministry of Housing and Constructrion Mr. Aixing Han, Vice-Chancellor of China Architecture Design & Research Group Dr. Jung Chang, Secretary General of Chinese Renewable Energy Society Mr. Baoshan Li, and Director of China National Engineering Research Center for Human Settlements Mr. Jishou Zhong. The winning submissions included Vertical Village created by the School of Architecture Southeast University and Six-Meter Sunshine created by Beijing Jiaotong University.

The Delta Electronics Foundation has sponsored the Delta Cup International Solar Building Design Competition in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2011 to promote the design and application of solar buildings.
The winning designs will be built for the public to actually see and touch the ideas behind energy-saving green living. A good example is the Delta Sunshine Elementary School which was just inaugurated in Szechuan province in April, 2011. (Please see: We Share Because We Care - Delta Sunshine Elementary School Inaugurated in Mianyang, China). The building of the school adopted the design of the winner of the 2009 Delta Cup International Solar Building Design Competition, Sunshine in Szechuan by Shandong Jianzhu University, and it has since become a green building model in China. For this year's winner Vertical Village Delta is planning to sponsor its construction near Tongli Lake in Suzhou so people can experience its creative energy-saving concepts and a carbon-free life.

The 2011 Delta Cup International Solar Building Design Competition is an annual event organized by Chinese Renewable Energy Society. The committee hopes that through competition, people all over the world will realize the importance and advantages of green buildings to our green Earth.
