| dc.description.abstract | This thesis aims to achieve higher levels of building performance by instilling a consciousness toward energy conservation in inhabitants of a built construct. A variety of methods for harnessing, storing, and using energy are available today; however, because conventional energy is non-renewable and harmful to the environment, architects must continually explore renewable energy and integrate appropriate passive/active strategies in early stages of design to lessen the dependency and use of these resources. In response, this proposal for a mixed-use building will become an expression of energy conservation while serving as an extension of St. Paul’s transportation and energy infrastructure, and preserving the city’s historical significance. | en_US |
