Senior Student Research Opportunities:

B.Arch. or M.Arch. students that are interested in conducting a Vital Signs Building Performance Case Study should have a look a the studies carried out below, and if interested in proposing a case study, contact me at tboake@uwaterloo.ca

Caroline Prochazka in M2 is presently doing a continuing study of the YMCA Paradise Lake Solarium building case study, as the one below was done prior to the installation of the Living Machine. Any other proposals are also welcome and encouraged. I have a fair bit of data collection equipment that we can use (hobos for taking heat, RH and light readings; light monitors; temperature sensors, software)
