Building a Sustainable Future: IIT Bombay's Team SHUNYA Wins Solar Decathlon
Team SHUNYA, comprising a dedicated group of students from IIT Bombay and sustainability enthusiasts, was placed first at the prestigious US Solar Decathlon Design Challenge 2024.

This achievement marks their third consecutive win at the prestigious international competition, held from April 19-21, 2024, at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, Colorado.
Team SHUNYA, initiated 12 years ago by Prof. Rangan Banerjee (now the Director of IIT Delhi), embodies a commitment to promoting sustainable housing in an urbanizing nation. Their latest project, Samsara, embodies this vision, aiming to enhance health and safety within slum rehabilitation housing (SRH) in Mumbai, India. The project incorporates innovative void strategies, daylight autonomy, ventilation, and energy performance, coupled with a membrane-based heat pump system and a smart demand management system, resulting in a 60% increase in habitable area and a 35% improvement in daylight autonomy.
