The 2012 Summer
Retreat will lay foundations for the annual Campus Triathlon
Competition.
Campuses
across the country are seeking ways to reduce their energy use
and carbon footprint. Since the heating, cooling, lighting,
and plug loads for campus
buildings comprise a significant portion of energy use and
carbon emissions, designing net-zero buildings is key to
reaching these ambitious goals.
The
Campus Triathlon Competition will challenge teams of
architecture students in collaboration with affiliated
departments and stakeholders on their home campuses to use
integrated design to explore and develop innovative reductions
in energy use and carbon footprints.
Teams
will present exemplary interventions among three scales: a
single classroom space, a building, or the entire campus.
Winning submissions will be selected as models of excellence for
use by other campus communities and to engage the future
generation of design professionals in action-oriented
climate-impact interventions.
The summer retreat will
prepare potential participants in the first-year piloting of
the competition; to test and refine competition logistics,
competition criteria, and evaluation techniques, and
ultimately to expand participation and to disseminate the
products and findings of those submissions nationwide.
The retreat schedule
includes half-day information sessions and half-day workshop
sessions on topics that will support preparation of
competition entries.
Help shape the 2012 retreat content. Proposals for
presentations in any of the five session themes are invited.
You may also propose a presentation, workshop, or activity
that doesn't fit neatly into one of the sessions...we have
some time reserved for the unexpected.
