EPS students of the IHK were asked to design a low energy house. This gives the company a fresh insight into a low energy house design from the mixed students. This year 48 students applied for the EPS program, making twelve mixed teams, 2 teams designing a low energy house. At the beginning, a brief was given to direct the project in accordance with the CENERGIA criteria’s. All teams had to work freely and organise themselves.
