UNLV Fine Arts
Pavilion
.
The
Fine Arts Pavilion was conceived as a research and demonstration facility
where appropriate passive and active solar technologies for the United
States Southwest could be tested and displayed. This pavilion would also be
used to showcase student work from the UNLV School of Architecture and the
Fine Arts College. Among its strategies the pavilion counts the use of
daylighting, external shading, a roofpond for passive heating and cooling,
and direct gain for auxiliary heating. An off-grid PV installation,
rainwater collection, and solar distillation were also considered for this
facility.
The primary goal of this project was to demonstrate UNLV’s strong commitment
to sustainable development in the Southwest by promoting appropriate
technological solutions.
