My life's goal is to create efficiency in all aspects in life. This is why I have a passion for sustainable design. I am equipped for the social and environmental challenges of current domestic and global energy systems, and I understand the solutions and regulatory reforms needed to create a sustainable energy future.
Qualifications:
I know how to apply ecological design strategies using both mind and hands,
and develop comprehensive understanding of energy use and the pathways to a clean energy future.
I am equipped to implement ecological design strategies & analyze renewable energy opportunities. I also have the skills to realize appropriate and meaningful solutions, apply ecological design principles to the built environment, through both conceptual exercises and applied applications.
I am able to analyze sustainable design and energy challenges within a broad interdisciplinary context and I am prepared for further study and careers in the renewable energy and sustainable design fields.
The tiny house design:
The below images represent a theoretical concept that was drawn to help formulate further ideas projects and was not drawn for actual implementation.
This house is designed to be used with little to no mechanical needs to heat and cool the structure. To heat the house there is an angled 60-degree window to capture the winter sun that hits against a thermal capturing surface. In order to cool the house there are movable channel ways that are designed to allow the cool air pressure to force hot air up and out. This is done by the symbiotic relationship that is created by two opposing windows.
The roof can fit five 435 watt solar panels, to supply electricity to the chest fridge and freezer both of which were designed by nasa in order to require only 75 watts of electricity. The panels rest against a slanted roof for the purpose to catch the falling rain water. The water is then stored in a black thermal tank above the sink and shower. This creates the appropriate water pressure and helps control temperature. The toilet is designed by Natures Head and requires no water. The grey water from the sink and shower is used to water the out side gardens. The insulation of the house is 6 inches with an R-value of 6 to 6.5 for every inch.
