As an architecture major (a 5 year program at CMU) Schimidt was
involved in designing, planning and building a house for entry in the National
Solar Decathlon which was held in Washington , D.C. Study began with
coursework in the fall of 2001 at CMU and 13 other universities in the
U.S. Students completed the necessary courses related to energy
conservation and building design/materials and submitted designs for
the "green" energy efficient, 800 square foot solar home. Once the design was
accepted the students built a model in the spring of 2001 and solicited support
for the actual building of the house which cost approximately $150,000. During
the summer, several CMU students, including Schmidt, worked to construct the
house on the Carnegie Mellon Campus. The house was completed in early
September and then disassembled to be trucked to the Mall in Washington, D.C.
where it was reassembled to prepare for the Solar Decathlon contests.
Lauren managed to venture to D.C. for three days to give tours of the CMU
house that was constructed on the Mall in D.C. |
