As fuel prices and global energy security fluctuate, strategies for designing zero energy homes need to be investigated. A Zero Energy Home is currently a goal and ever present in the media, but not yet accomplished at the level of our technical potential. We will explore the various definitions of Zero Energy and understand the implications of the term within several contexts: bioregional, local, and site constrained. The various energy loads being counted towards the absolute of Zero will be...

Mapping is an indispensable tool for designers, planners, and environmental advocates for the communication of multi-scalar forms, processes, and the systems of our built environment. This course will equip students with the representational, technical, analytical, and intuitive mapping skills that are essential to design research and planning. Through workshops, lectures on contemporary mapmaking, and hands-on exercises, students will unpack these processes while considering the relationship...
