Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Timothy Hight, Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Santa Clara UniversityAbstract:Santa Clara University and California College of the Arts joined forces to compete in the 2009 DOE Solar Decathlon competition, resulting in an overall third place finish. An SCU student team led the engineering effort, and CCA students led the architectural design, while both schools collaborated on these and many other aspects, such as communications and interior design. This talk will discuss some of the technologies chosen for the Refract House (including an integrated all PV roof, radiant heating and cooling, and whole home control system), as well as the tradeoffs and compromises inherent in the bold architectural design, and the process used for design and project management for this student-led team
