According to St. Polten University of Applied Sciences, The Solar Decathlon is known as the world's most challenging sustainable building university-level competition.

This competition is sponsored by the U. S. Department of Energy. A collection of Austrian research institutions known as `Team Austria' is going to take part in the competition with the high-tech LISI (Living Inspired by Sustainable Innovation) energy-plus house.

This house generates a much higher level of energy than consumed by its occupants. This house offers movable living boundaries and a sense of privacy too. The experience of standing under the shelter also provides an air cooled environment for the users.

The house also offers a feeling of luxury and uniqueness. The house is made to give extreme comfort to its users and to make them feel highly secured.

According to the official St. Pölten University news release, the biennial Solar Decathlon competition is looking forward to seek energy self-sufficient buildings, which can be proudly called the homes of the future.

The entries for this competition will be judged under ten categories, which include energy efficiency, living quality, design and affordability.

Austria's entry to this global solar competition is the `LISI - Living Inspired by Sustainable Innovation' house, which will serve as one of the best samples of the future houses.
