Decathletes all over the world

TeamSPAIN has been working hard preparing for the competition. At this very moment, there is a group of Decathletes in Bowie (USA), another in Hamburg (Germany), and a third in Madrid, all working hard to arrive at the Washington Mall in perfect shape, ready to score maximum points in every of the ten competition events.


The Project Manager, Josep Adell, is already in Bowie, along with the Construction Chief Edgar Lombana, and Decathletes Sara Gil and Victor Marcos Morell, who are being assisted by Luis Lozano and Hugo Bueno. This team has assembled the House, and is running through a final set of tests and simulations of the various bioclimatic systems of The Black&White House.


Irene Garrido and Javier Mata are currently in Hamburg, presenting our solar capture technologies at the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition, reinforcing our efforts to spread the word about the project and to commercialize our patents.



In Madrid, the rest of the team is engaged in preparing for the contest and putting together collateral materials, which will be exhibited in the Mall and distributed to visitors of The Black&White House.


We encourage you all to follow our progress through the website, this blog, and our Facebook group. We need all the help and encouragement we can get from you guys. We send our greetings, and in just a few short days we'll be standing at the starting line, waiting for the starter gun to mark the beginning of the Solar Decathlon 2009.
