Description

"This first volume in the Urgent Matters series traces the design and construction of the "Trojan Goat," The University of Virginia's entry in the 2002 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon. The author gives a first hand account of the creation of an award-winning 750 ft. solar-powered house, designed and built by a team of students and faculty, that combines sustainable materials with thoughtful design and technological innovation. Along the way, the author argues for greater support for sustainable building practices in the United States, including an increase in design/build opportunities for students of architecture."--BOOK JACKET.
