| Brief: As a showcase for environmental consciousness and ecological design, the Showroom at the Real Goods Solar Living Center has incorporated various energy-conserving passive environmental control strategies, such as night time ventilation, thermal mass, evaporative cooling, stack effect and passive solar heating. Three months after the June 1996 opening of the Center, a group of UC Berkeley architecture students examined the physical performance of the showroom. The results of their findings are reported in this case study. | ||
