Rendering and design via computer graphics and animation gives an animated image of what to expect, including materials, sun pattern, and light sources. Shown in this example is the intersection of S. Elm St. & E. Market St. in Greensboro, NC, (with slight modifications in the background buildings) and a new studio home I designed with sustainable energy in mind.
By capturing many natural energy sources and transforming the energy, with a blend of innovative ideas, we can use that energy to heat, cool, light, or create electricity in an efficient and effective way. Many of these methods of capturing energy have been utilized for centuries but decreasingly used in the last 100 years. Now more than ever we need to develop ways to create less dependency on gas or oil, while preserving the environment.
My training as a Nautical Mechanical Engineer has taught me to be self-reliant, and as a sculptor my interest in architecture has led me to this familiar, creative, innovative, and in my view, necessary, field of “sustainable energy.”
