On the second day of the event, the university teams from Berlin, Wuppertal, Stuttgart and Rosenheim presented their residential projects with which they very successfully competed in the Solar Decathlon Europe 2010 in Madrid. The European-wide competition is conceived as an architectural decathlon with the aim of constructing zero-energy and energy-plus buildings. In his citation, Professor Manfred Hegger (TU Darmstadt) praised the excellent performance of the teams and specifically their results in the individual Architecture, Construction and Engineering, Comfort Conditions and Sustainability disciplines.

Students from the four universities presented their respective energy-plus buildings and the concepts on which they were based. They also showed just how much can be learned for life with such a team-led, innovative project. Particularly impressive was Daniel Kurzius from Rosenheim when he quoted from the project vision that was formulated and signed by the Rosenheim team many months ahead of the competition, because this showed not only how far a jointly developed vision can be taken but also the extent to which a team can be committed to a goal.
