Master of Landscape Architecture student, Ali Abbaszadegan, won an American Society of Landscape Architecture (ASLA) award for his design of the native plant materials. During the 2013 Solar Decathlon roughly 50,000 guests toured the prototype. These students were involved throughout the construction process, for fabrication, assembly, construction administration, transportation, and installation. Our students had the unique opportunity to carry the project from conceptual and schematic design, through design development and construction documentation. Graduate and undergraduate students in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and the Master of Science in the Built Environment Programs from the Design School worked together with Engineering students from the University of New Mexico, and a number of industry professionals to design and build SHADE. SHADE employs a number of passive design strategies - self-shading, ventilated facade, optimal volume and orientation - along with a number of sustainable technologies - radiant cooling, phase change materials, and energy recovery to respond to our extreme, urbanized Sonoran Desert environment. Department of Energy's 2013 Solar Decathlon, a biannual International Competition for net-zero homes built with integrated photovoltaics and other sustainable features and technologies. SHADE: Solar Homes Adapted for Desert Equilibrium is a prototype designed and constructed for the U.S.
