It is an entirely solar- powered dwelling, formed of modular components that can be configured in numerous arrangements to expand or shrink depending on the needs of the family unit or site constraints. The concept is structured around a set of rigid steel frames that resist lateral (wind/seismic) forces combined with structural insulated panels (SIP. The two systems work in concert to form the basic enclosures of each module. The rigid frames wrap the outside of the thermal enclosure, minimizing the potential for thermal losses through bridging and also becoming a sub- structure for locally- acquired and site- specific materials to be applied to it. They also support a canopy of photovoltaic panels. The modules can be transported as complete units or separated and flat- packed for shipment by container or truck. The prototype currently under construction is sited in north- central Florida.

Also Known As (AKA) USA (soft porn version) Focus/Refocus: When Porn Kills See also Full Cast and Crew It responds to the vernacular forms of homes in the area known as . One specific variant of the Cracker house was the dog- trot, where the living and sleeping areas were shaped as separate modules, each placed under a larger continuous roof. The space between the modules allowed for sheltered outdoor living spaces and invited breezes to cool the homes. Project Refocus is a modern interpretation of these straight- forward design principles. The basic building block is the rigid frame, along with 8 feet wide x 1. Three modules are combined to create Live/Work/Eat spaces; two modules are combined to create Sleep/Bathe spaces; one module remains open between them as a covered breezeway. The house uses heart- pine lumber salvaged from a historic home near Micanopy, Florida. The regionally- specific skins include exterior wood screens, integrated photovoltaic panels, and solar- thermal energy systems. The construction system is designed to allow for mass- customization, where industrialized processes can be tailored to the region a home is to be constructed. The goal is to create armatures through which many architectures may grow. Structure. The structural steel frames resist lateral (wind/seismic) forces while the structural insulated panels resist gravity and thermal loads. The two systems work in concert to form the basic enclosures of each module. The rigid frames wrap the outside of the thermal enclosure, minimizing the potential for thermal losses through bridging and also becoming a sub- structure for locally- acquired and site- specific materials to be applied to it. They also support a canopy of photovoltaic panels. The modules can be transported as complete units or separated and flat- packed for shipment by container or truck. As a completely solar- powered home, the project includes a roof mounted array and a vertically mounted array on the south fa. The roof mounted system is mounted on the structural steel frame above the roof surface and provides shading for the living module, breezeway, and bedroom module. This solar canopy prevents direct exposure of the roof to direct solar gain. Also, with the array covering the breezeway, it allows for shading this outdoor transition space, providing a gradual entry into the cooler living and bedroom areas. Overall this strategy reduces the load on the heating ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system and enhances passive conditioning. The 1. 2. 4. 2k. W array installed on the roof in a 3 module x 1. The 2. 1. 84k. W vertical south wall installation is also maximized and uses technology that will produce more k. Wh per year per installed k. W compared to conventional systems. There are two 6,0. W inverters for the roof modules and one 3,0. W inverter for the vertical modules. The roof- mounted array over the living module is connected to one 6,0. W inverter and the roof- mounted arrays over the breezeway and bedroom module are on the second 6,0. W inverter. About the Competition. The Solar Decathlon is a competition organized by the U. S. Department of Energy in which universities from across the globe meet to design and build an energetically self- sufficient house that runs only on solar energy, is connected to a power grid, and incorporates technologies that maximize its energy efficiency. In the final phase of the competition, teams assembled their prototypes at the Villa Solar in Madrid, Spain. The prototypes designed by the participating teams then competed in a set of ten contests (Decathlon) in order to demonstrate the self- sufficiency and energy efficiency of each house. From the competition website: The Solar Decathlon brings prestige to the participating universities, because for them it involves the integration and generation of knowledge on the conditions of sustainable construction in an environmentally conscious world. The universities selected to participate in multidisciplinary work teams are led by a faculty advisor, a project manager and a team captain. The Ministry of Housing granted financial support, estimated at 1. Euros, to each of the participating teams in order to facilitate the participation of the universities. Solar Decathlon Europe 2. Students working on the project were challenged to use their ingenuity and innovation, and their capacity to design and build a prototype of an energetically self- sufficient house. In addition, they learned about socio- economic constraints in order to ensure the viability of their project. For more information on the competition, go to.

Glothlin directed a vertically- integrated design studio that developed a number of concepts and produced the initial deliverables. I joined him and the team in March 2. The summer months were particularly important. I assisted the students in developing construction details and logistical strategies during this time, while also helping to formalize and clarify the project. I also assisted Professor Mc. Glothlin in developing division one of the specifications for the construction deliverables as required by the competition organizers. The sketches included here and on the pages that follow are some of the many I produced during the course of the project. As a part of the collaborative process, these collectively served as significant contributions to the.
