Traditional American methods of homebuilding are not adequately responding to the need for flexible, affordable, energy effective and resource efficient homes. This presentation takes a fresh look at the housing delivery process in response to global and regional change. From climate change to power deregulation and suburban sprawl to the rapid proliferation of information technology, change is occurring at a more rapid pace than at any other time in our history. Yet the housing industry is a fragmented, multi-headed beast in which change is slow to occur if at all.
This presentation speaks directly to our future housing needs and illustrates potential design, technology and construction process solutions using the 2007 Carnegie Mellon Solar Decathlon house as a case study.
