Project Description:

I would like my students to design and build a scale model of an energy efficient home. I am seeking the help of anyone in the fields of energy efficiency, architecture, green building and design, or with experience in thermodynamics to come and speak and/or work with my students as they design and build their homes. Specific topics they will be learning all focus in thermodynamics and include:
Heat capacity, conduction, convection, radiation
