Sun Wall Competition Winning Entry
Washington, DC
SCB, in partnership with ARUP New York, produced the winning design for the Department of Energy's Solar Wall Competition. SCB's 32,000sf "Sun Wall" covers the south elevation of the DOE's Washington, D.C. Headquarters building. The Wall is expected to generate 200 kw of electricity through a combination of photovoltaic panels and evacuated tubes for hot water. The DOE asked entrants for a "visually exciting" and technologically advanced project.
