On Saturday, January 14th, SOM Design Partner Brian Lee spoke at Solar Decathlon China, an international event that challenges student teams to design and build full-size, solar-powered houses. As a keynote speaker at the conference, which took place in Dezhou, China, Lee presented about sustainable design and research at SOM and led discussion groups with student and faculty teams from more than two dozen universities.

Led jointly by the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Energy Administration of the People’s Republic of China, and the China Overseas Development Associations, Solar Decathlon China gathers teams from universities around the world. The Solar Decathlon is hosted annually in the United States, with satellite conferences held on a rotating basis in China, Europe, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East.
