Good tools are half the job. Thanks to the TTS Tooltechnic Systems, our LISI workshop is properly equipped. In order to use each device’s full potential and be informed about its maintenance and proper handling, Decathletes were taught in a separate training course about all the ins and outs of the tools. Now, there stands nothing in the way of professional sawing, drilling and hammering.

Part of the Solar Decathlon Competition is a dinner hosted by the individual teams showing the true livability of each house. After all, even though LISI might be a prototype in many aspects, one has to be able to live in it. A couple of days ago, a group of decathletes met up to sample cook our prospected menu for the dinner in California. Whomever we get to cook for, we don’t want to spoil you with a finished menu just yet. Let the pictures do the talking. Enjoy your meal.

No matter storm, rain or snow – LISI now handles all weather situations. Last week, the roof was finally sealed. With the support of two Wolfin employees, we only took one day. Equipped with 450° hot air guns from Haberkorn, gluing was a piece of cake. The bright, reflective roofing membrane is specifically designed for photovoltaic systems on the roof and makes LISI resistant against all weather conditions. LISI is ready: Bring on the PV system.

A couple of days ago, we received our sliding doors from JOSKO. Once the windows were placed inside the construction hall, we had to be careful as not to walk into them. The size is overwhelming and gives a good idea of the generosity the indoor space will receive with these sliding windows. Three straight days were dedicated to properly install these beauties in their right place. Once we completed that task, we neatly slid the doors into their respective space in the core so we wouldn’t damage them. Another thing we can tick off our check list; onto the next!



The Josko truck arriveshttps://www.solardecathlon.at/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/01_windows-359x240.jpg 359w" sizes="(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px" />

Last week, we officially reached the highest point of LISI. Well, that’s if you do not consider the photovoltaic elements. In other words, we placed the roof modules on the cores. For the first time, we were able to walk ‘inside’ LISI and get a real feel for the dimensions and proportions. Topping out, or “Richtfest” as we Austrians call it, is celebrated when the core building structure is completed. Tradition has it, that a coniferous tree, decorated with ribbons from the construction site, is placed on the roof. Obviously, Team LISI took that tradition very serious.

Many of our followers have probably asked themselves: What are our decathletes doing when they are not at the construction site? To answer this question, we will be posting a couple of stories in the coming weeks on everything but the house. To start off, let’s take a closer look at the current LISI cuisine including the original LISIburger (Trademark pending). Lunch is served!

After the second week in Weissensee, LISI is slowly taking shape. Ground elements and the cores are already visible. Next week, we plan on having the entire rough construction ready. We look forward to another week of drilling, hammering and sawing. GO TEAM LISI!

Let’s go! Since Monday the 25th of March, half of Team Austria currently resides in beautiful Carinthia. To be more exact, the hall for constructing LISI is located in Weissensee, a small alpine village and is sponsored by the company Weissenseer, our principal sponsor. Executing the original plan and building LISI in the “hall around the corner” in Vienna was, even with a strong mobilization and flow of information at all levels and instances not possible.
What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger. With that in mind, we constructed our branch office in Carinthia and considered the geographic change in our schedule. Twice a week, students commute between Vienna and Weissensee, in order to bring LISI to life with our participating firms. Until July 22nd every day is planned; nothing should be left to chance, for on that day, LISI should already be disassembled and loaded onto the shipping container.
Until that day comes however, our decathletes will spend some lush spring nights in a lovely mountain house including a fireplace. Fortunately, this house is available for that period of time. The only remaining question mark is the transport of team members to and from Weissensee offices. Here too, we are currently in talks with car retailers for sponsorship, yet we also welcome anyone who will rent a car to LISI.

In the middle of a somewhat dreary march, Team Austria had a little time to spare and decided to do something that would strike a colorful impression. So we rented some shoes, grabbed some balls and met up for a night of bowling. After an initial warm-up phase which consisted mainly of making sure that the gutters worked, we split up into teams and started putting on a show. Pretty soon the ‘LISI-Riders’, the ‘Gutterballs’ and the ‘Over-the-Lines’ demostrated all kinds of spares, splits and strikes from their repertoire.
Then the lights went down, the music went up and we had ourselves a few rounds of party-bowling. This led a few of us to celebrate with somewhat questionable victory-dances. Once all the pins had been struck down, we rounded off the evening with some relaxing drinks. Strike!

The “Building & Energy Vienna” is Austria’s largest construction and energy saving fair. Around 600 top companies present their latest innovations as well as reliable products on nearly 45,000 square meters. The motto is “live better – healthy, safe and affordable living.”
Team Austria was also able to introduce our LISI house on its own booth. We had the chance to meet with many of our sponsors as well as talk to other people who are enthusiastic about LISI and the Solar Decathlon.
The feedback on our project was fantastic and at the same time motivating for the entire team. Thank you.
