The Competition provides teaching and applied learning experience on principles and requirements of energy-efficient design for tomorrow's design professionals. Open to all students currently enrolled in architecture or environmental design programs, the Competition has two challenge levels that capture the interest of each group and address the appropriate level of design experience. Design Challenge 1 is intended for students in their third, fourth or fifth year of undergraduate school, and all graduate or post-baccalaureate students. Challenge 2 is intended for students in the first or second year of their undergraduate design education. Students may work as part of a team or individually, and a faculty advisor or instructor representing the institution must supervise all participants. The duration of the Competition will be any consecutive ten-week period within the scheduled dates.

The problem set for 2003-04 involves a community college site in Palm Desert, California. Design Challenge 1 is to design a new 28,000 square foot Administration Building; Design Challenge 2 is to design a 4,000 square foot Child Care Center. Detailed information is provided on site history, demographics, climate, utilities, site description and special requirements. Each design must satisfy the sociological and environmental concerns of the community, while also addressing advanced energy efficiency and sustainable building design issues. A volunteer panel of judges, comprised of prominent architects and energy efficiency designers, make up the technical and design juries. The judges review and analyze submitted entries to determine which best address the Competition problem. The Competition problem set, rules and instructions and registration forms can be found on the Leading Edge website (www.leadingedgecompetition.org); hard copies are made available for those without Internet access.
