17^th Aug, 2018 | Solar Decathlon China 2018 (SDC2018), deemed the Olympic Games in the field of solar energy industry, drew to a close in the city of Dezhou in Shandong Province, famous for its abundant sunshine. Team JIA+, which consists of Xiamen University (XMU), Team Solar Bretagne and Shandong University, have come to the fore and ranked the third place in total score after competing with 18 other teams from 34 universities around the world. The championship belonged to Team SCUT-POLITO, made up of members from South China University of Technology and Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy. Team THU (Tsinghua University) secured the second prize.

颁奖典礼在德州市太阳能小镇赛场大报告厅举行，厦门大学原副校长邬大光、校长助理张建霖来到现场，与JIA+联队成员共同见证了这一光荣时刻。

The final award ceremony was held in the lecture hall of the solar powered town in Dezhou City. Prof. Wu Daguang, the Former Vice President of XMU, and Prof. Zhang Jianlin, Assistant to the President of XMU witnessed the glorious moment with Team JIA+.

这项为期40天的竞赛，通过十个单项，包括建筑设计、市场营销、工程技术、创新科技、宣传推广、家用电器、舒适程度、居家生活、电动通勤、能源绩效，评比出最终成绩。位列总分第三名的JIA+联队还荣获宣传推广第三名、市场营销第四名、工程技术第四名等单项佳绩。

Furthermore, the success of two Dinner Parties and a Movie Night also promoted interschool exchange and communication.

JIA+联队由组建到发展、从设计到施工凝聚了无数人的心血与汗水。学校和学院是团队最坚强的后盾和支撑，在厦门试搭建期间，张荣校长曾来到施工现场指导和鼓励；德州竞赛期间，bwin必赢院长王绍森、副书记王瑛慧，指导老师陈兰英、石峰、王波、林育欣、林跃华、林婕和队员们同吃同住，并肩作战；队员们始终秉承着“自强不息，止于至善”的校训精神，不畏烈日骄阳，创造性高质量地完成太阳能屋的搭建和运行；团队间不同国家、不同文化背景、不同院校专业成员互相沟通和交流，也收获了深厚友谊。正如赛队成员阎树睿所说：“我们建成的不单单是一栋房子，我们建成的是真正的家，两年多来，大家付出了很多，但同时也成长了很多，这才是这个比赛的意义所在。”

A great deal of effort has been made in the formation and development of Team JIA+. XMU and School of Architecture and Civil Engineering (SACE) have provided powerful backing for Team JIA+. Prof. Zhang Rong, the president of XMU paid a visit and encouraged team members during the trial construction period in Xiamen. Prof. Wang Shaosen, Dean of SACE, Ms. Wang Yinghui, Deputy Party Secretary of SACE, instructors including Ms. Chen Lanying, Prof. Shi Feng, Prof. Wang Bo, Dr. Lin Yuxin, Engineer Mr. Lin Yue, Ms. Lin Jie lived and worked with Team JIA+ side by side. Self-improvement, Striving for Perfection, the motto of XMU was insisted by our group members who overcame great difficulty and finished building and operating the solar house. Members from different countries and with diverse cultural backgrounds have communicated and cooperated with each other, while harvesting sincere friendship. Just as one of the team members, Yan Shurui said, “we are not only building a single house, but a real home. A lot of effort was made during the past two years, and we have grown so much in the meantime. I think that is the true meaning of the competition”.

2018中国国际太阳能十项全能竞赛(SDC)由中国国家能源局和美国能源部主办，中国产业海外发展协会承办。比赛要求在竞赛期间每支参赛队建造一栋双层太阳能住宅，并完全由太阳能提供日常生活所需能源。评委将全面考核每个参赛作品的成本可行性、节能、建筑物理环境调控及能源自给能力，通过十个单项评比确定最终排名。竞赛旨在推进绿色建筑的发展，增强人们的环保意识，并推动相关技术的创新和商业化发展。这是我校第二次组队参加，2013中国国际太阳能十项全能竞赛在山西大同落幕，首次参赛的厦门大学获总分第六名的好成绩。

Solar Decathlon China 2018 (SDC2018) is co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and China National Energy Administration, organized by China Overseas Development Association and supported by the School Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League. Aiming for permanent usage, the competition requires every team to build a single or two-story solar house with a finished area of 120-200m2 and equipped with all necessary household appliances such as TV, refrigerator, cook top, dishwasher, washing machine, and computer. In addition, each house shall have an electric vehicle and its matched charging device. Solar Decathlon aims to integrate solar energy, energy conservation, and architecture design in a new way, to promote the development of green building, to strengthen the environmental awareness and to stimulate the related technological innovation and commercialization. It’s the second time that our university participated in the event. The first Solar Decathlon China was held in Datong, Shanxi Province, in 2013. Our team ranked the 6th at that time.
