Abstract

Designed and constructed by 22 University of Kansas architecture students, electricity is provided by three 600W turbines to the rear of the building while solar PV panels are sited on the ground and roof. Solar lighting is installed, recycled building materials have been used and a geothermal heat pump heats and cools the building. Rainwater, harvested through gutters and down-spouts into a cistern, waters the outside yard through a pump system, while a white roof reflects heat.
