Presentation Abstract ...
Suppose a very conservative Western state was
offered an authentic, fluid window into the past; and suppose that
through the window one could see and touch and feel 250 old wooden
buildings, more than 1,000,000 artifacts, and much lore and legend; and
suppose that all the properties were classified in poor condition; and
suppose there were more than twenty organized groups that wanted to
participate in the management in some manner; and suppose that there
was no money to care for the resources. Throw in a 150-member Board of
Directors that meets every other year(the State Legislature), 150
residents, two local governments (including a recall petition
concerning Town Government), a couple of acting troupes, and a restored
steam locomotive operated by volunteers, and you have the beginnings of
a description of Virginia City and Nevada City, Montana. Virginia City
and Nevada City are true treasures from the past. Realism and
authenticity permeate the towns. We are very fortunate to still have
these resources and are honored to care for them. Decisions we make
today will determine the future of the past and if these towns will
survive another 140 years. This talk will attempt to provide a little
of the more recent administrative history of these tiny and remote
mountain villages. It will examine where the Montana Heritage
Commission has been, where we are now, and where we hope to
go. |

Center, Reno, NV |
Presentation Abstract ...
In recent years we have seen a long overdue
renaissance in the use of daylight as a primary light source in
architecture. While this is a step in the right direction, introducing
high quality daylight into the built environment is only half of the
equation. In order to most effectively light our built environment, we
need to fully integrate electric lighting systems with daylight design.
This requires very deliberate design intent and meticulous control
choices. This class will offer current design strategies intended to
insure that your architectural conception will be seen in the best
light possible. |

Presentation Abstract ...
This presentation will be divided into five
sections. The Venting section will introduce basic concepts and explain
how cross and stack ventilation function. The Benefits section will
highlight some of the advantages of natural ventilation and address
questions like: Can the size and first cost of the mechanical system be
reduced by using natural ventilation? The Feasibility section will
discuss when and where natural ventilation can be effectively used in
the Northwest and answer questions such as: How can cool night
temperatures be used to offset hot day temperatures? The Tools section
will cover analysis, design, and evaluation tools, and explain how,
when, and where they are used. Questions in this section include: What
strategies are available to augment natural ventilation with mechanical
ventilation? The Barriers section will outline some circumstances that
make natural ventilation difficult to use and address questions such
as: Won't undesirable outside conditions like high temperature,
pollen-laden air, or noise reduce the productivity of building
occupants? This presentation is based on the publication Natural
Ventilation in Northwest Buildings sponsored by the Northwest
Energy Efficiency Alliance. |
