There are exceptional promotional opportunities in Montreal and China including permanent promotion in the Dezhou Innovation Park dedicated to high-performance, sustainable building, and renewable energy technologies.

We are actively pursuing industry partnerships that will surpass simple sponsorship and capital donation. TeamMTL is capitalizing on this opportunity to develop a research program that will outlast the competition in the areas of high-performance building, net-zero and positive energy capable design, and a wide array of related research areas. The team is supported by well-equipped and internationally recognized research labs and centers and the faculty team has a breadth of experience and proven capacity in team management and research specifically in the area of sustainable building practices.

The Solar Decathlon China competition offers an extraordinary teaching, learning, and research opportunity for a real world and international experience that directly addresses critical issues of environmental stewardship, sustainable building practices, social, cultural, and economic sustainability, and affordable housing. Hands-on training and capacity building for students is supported by expert professional and industry partners in addition to faculty mentorship and scholarship.
