Call for Entries: International Solar Building Design Competition 2023

The Implementation Plan for the Construction of National Education System for Green Low-Carbon Development in China clearly states that green low-carbon development should be integrated into campus construction as a goal. New technology products of energy saving and emission reduction are given priority in campus construction to guide teachers and students in the education system to firmly establish the concept of green low-carbon development and lay a solid ideological and operational foundation for achieving the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.

This year's competition takes Guangzhou Science and Education City Culture and Technology Museum and Guangzhou Public Utilities Technician College Society Complex as the topics to accelerate the development of low-carbon school buildings and to further promote the large-scale application of renewable energy in the field of school construction.
