Department:
Architecture, Professor
Research Interests:
affordable manufactured housing, urban design, sustainable development and ecological design
Achievements:
Harrison Fraker is an award winning architect and Founding Partner of the Princeton Energy Group. Recently, he led an initiative to design three transit-oriented neighborhoods for Tianjin, China, a city of 11 million. The idea in this design is not just green buildings but whole systems, encouraging officials to integrate planning for power, water, waste and transportation for better environmental results. Fraker teaches design studio and architectural internship program and current research activity includes affordable manufactured housing, urban design, sustainable development and ecological design.
Energy, Fantasy, and Form
Submitted by cmjones on April 19, 2007 - 10:24am.Department:
ARCH
Course Number:
103
Course Title:
Energy, Fantasy, and Form
Instructor:
Sullivan
Description:
This is an undergraduate studio with a central focus on climate modification for energy conservation. We will research historical precedents in order to develop new garden forms for passive green designs. We will also explore how past cultures integrated metaphysics into their gardens as an adjunct to microclimate and habitat design. The contemporary landscape should be a balanced interweaving of proportion, function, comfort, energy conservation, and enlightenment. Additionally, we will study the choreography of space and investigate how to animate the landscape through the creative interpretation of text and film. Many new and exciting opportunities lie ahead for the creation of garden forms that not only conserve energy, but are also works of art and places of spiritual renewal.

Architecture, Professor
Research Interests:
Current areas of research activity include thermal comfort; buildings and climate; and building energy conservation.
Achievements:
Arens has extensive publication in research journals such as ASHRAE Transactions and Energy and Buildings on topics addressing thermal comfort, urban form and climate, prediction methods and design tools for natural ventilation, energy-efficiency, and the performance of task-conditioning systems. Honors include three Progressive Architecture Research Awards, and three ASHRAE Best Technical Paper Awards. Teaches in the areas of energy and environmental management, thermal aspects of architectural design, and research methods. Current areas of research activity include thermal comfort; buildings and climate; and building energy conservation. He is co-author of the paper "Urban Form and Climate: Case Study, Toronto" which appeared in the Journal of the American Planning Association, Vol. 61 No. 2, pp 226-239.
Thermal Aspects of Building Design
Submitted by cmjones on March 12, 2007 - 2:44pm.Department:
ARCH
Course Number:
240
Course Title:
Thermal Aspects of Building Design
Instructor:
Huizenga
Description:
The thermal and lighting environments of buildings are qualitatively and quantitavely examined in detail. Climate effects on human comfort, building energy requirements, and on design approaches will be studied using history, field observation, design/analysis software, and physical modeling. Students will design and graphically present the thermal qualities of a building and of a window, in one of two real current projects. The designs will incorporate new technology and energy standards.
