Eco House
This was a class project. We were to design a house that was eco friendly not because of solar panels placed on top of the building but because of the inherent features of the design. My project took advantage of several sustainable concepts: control of thermal gain and loss, chimney effect, harnessing climate specific wind patterns, geothermal temperature moderation, rain water collection and storage, Increased ambient lighting, and thermal energy storage and delayed radiation.
