On this view, which has become the canonical interpretation, Leopold’s land ethic is based on extending our moral sentiments to ecosystems. I argue that the evidence...
متن کاملIntegrating Energy Simulation into the Design Process of High Performance Buildings: a Case Study of the Aldo Leopold Legacy Center
The Aldo Leopold Legacy Center is designed to be a net-zero energy building. This paper explains how simulation modelling was integrated into the design process to achieve the design goals. Simulation was used to evaluate the building shell, including natural ventilation potential as well as evaluate individual HVAC components. The simulation model was also used to size HVAC equipment and evalu...
