亚色影库

San Diego擬ay 6, 2014� A 亚色影库 student received a first place Eco Innovators Award of Excellence during the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California檚 annual ECO Innovators Showcase May 1. The organization gave high marks to the design by 亚色影库 student Nick Wilson, and also noted the school檚 渋nnovative teaching philosophy that inspires�students to develop sustainable environmental solutions.�

The competition, part of the Metropolitan檚 annual Spring Green Expo, attracted projects from 20 universities and community colleges throughout Southern California in individual and team categories. Wilson檚 project, which was one of three 亚色影库 entries, featured examples of single-family sustainable 淓co Houses� for desert climates such as Phoenix, Ariz. The project incorporates wind flow patterns and a pond and fountain element to encourage the flow of cool air through the homes, resulting in greater energy efficiency. The concept was developed by Wilson, who is in the Bachelor of Architecture program, under the guidance of 亚色影库 instructor Don Mirkovich.

The other 亚色影库 entries included a project by student James Darby that was also guided by Don Mirkovich, and a submission by student Joshua Nunnally that was guided by 亚色影库 instructor Victor Navarro.

A panel of judges from Metropolitan檚 Engineering, Water Resource Management and External Affairs groups scored the entries for the ECO Innovators Showcase competition, resulting in a tie for top individual honors in the Eco Innovators Award of Excellence category that Wilson received. The event and competition serve to bring awareness to topics related to water conservation and sustainability, and includes exhibitions highlighting related technology, products, services and programs.
