Exploring
the University Art Museum
A hands-on, exploratory introduction to a course at UC Berkeley:
ARCH 140 Energy and Environmental Management. During section meetings
students will visit a nearby building to observe and measure,
develop hypotheses, use equipment, and share investigative outcomes
about design intentions and building performance with their peers.
This innovative exercise was developed by Graduate Student Instructors
(GSI) and instructors following the Agents of Change Training
Session in November 2000.

Adopt-A-Thing
The objectives of this semester-long, mini-case study project
at Florida A&M University, are to learn and convey as much
information about a specific climate control, fire protection,
or sanitation system element as reasonably possible, by selecting
an element that is readily accessible for observation (such as
west-facing glass, a drinking fountain, relative humidity in an
office). Students monitor the "thing" via measurement
equipment, interviews, and photographs.

Solar
Transit Template
There are many tools available to the architect for examining
the apparent motins of the sun. Solar position for a given time
and locatin can be determined by equations or graphic sunpath
diagrams. These graphic tools are particularly appropriate for
architects. The solar transit is a unique instrument which
can be used to determince solar access at a site by modeling the
seasonal path of the sun across the site and locating horizon
obstructions. The instructions for constructing your own
solar transit were developed at UC Berkeley for ARCH 140 Energy
and Environmental Management.
