...study is one of few to consider solar energy use on such a large scale, Steinitz said...
...grant will fund an ongoing architectural studio exploring the adaptation of solar energy to housing developments on three levels--a single building, a small neighborhood and an entire community. The studio, led by Carl Steinitz, professor of Landscape Architecture, and Adele Santos, professor of Architecture, consists of 30 students. The project selected Tucson. Ariz., as an example of a region with a cooling problems, Boston as one with a winter heating problem, and Atlanta, Ga., as one with unusual humidity...
