The Department of Energy has awarded the Graduate School of Design (GSD) $40,000 to study solar energy design.
The grant will fund an ongoing architectural studio exploring the adaptation of solar energy to housing developments on three levels--a single building, a small neighborhood and an entire community. The studio, led by Carl Steinitz, professor of Landscape Architecture, and Adele Santos, professor of Architecture, consists of 30 students. The project selected Tucson.

The study is one of few to consider solar energy use on such a large scale, Steinitz said.
