Course Title: How to Integrate Solar Into Landscape Designs
This course explores how landscape architects can transform outdoor areas into multi-functional, energy-producing, and visually-engaging spaces through the use of solar shade solutions. In particular, participants will learn how to integrate customizable solar canopies, tables, and carports into their projects. Furthermore, the course covers topics such as the role of shade and solar in climate resilience, solar technology features, and the design and placement of solar shade structures. Real-world project examples demonstrate how solar shade structures are transforming everyday spaces into sustainable, high-performing environments.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify ways to easily integrate functional and aesthetic solar design solutions into projects.
