          I studied with some of the solar pioneers during the 1970s while I was in architecture school. You will see numerous web pages on my site having to do with solar energy. Although there has not been much demand for solar design for about 2 decades, times change and there is more interest now. I would encourage anyone thinking of building in the 21st century to seriously consider incorporating as much solar technology into their new building as possible. Solar energy helps moderate climate change and it eases dependence on imported oil. Feel free to contact me with your questions regarding this reliable and inexhaustable power source.
