- Agenda - Some of the important topics covered in this first of four technical
workshops include: Which San Diego microclimate is my site in and how does
that affect our design process? Does the location and orientation of the
structure on my site make any difference? How do the planning and building
codes affect our project from an energy standpoint? Which wall, floor, ceiling,
roofing and window assemblies are best for my project and why? Are there
appreciable differences in strategic placements of operable windows/skylights?
How can we effectively manage the sun's energy for comfort and energy savings?
Learn about important design decisions regarding site planning, building
shell/envelopes, insulation, fenestration, roofing, passive ventilation
systems; hardscaping, landscapingand trees that impact long-term performance
and energy costs.

Reducing the rate of air exchange will reduce the amount of fuel needed to warm the house. What is a windbreak? The use of windbreaks--a way of planting trees gen-erally consisting of rows of evergreen trees--is one way to diminish the effects of winter winds. Windbreaks do not actually divert all of the wind that reaches them. Some wind penetrates the windbreak, but this is actually beneficial and makes the windbreak more effective. When a windbreak is 100% effective--when no wind penetrates it--a great deal of turbulence is cre-ated on the leeward side (back side) of the windbreak on windy days. 1788_Nish_R1While that statement is generally true, I was reminded by a NISH team member who uses a wheelchair, that even technology doesn't always "make things possible" unless it is implemented by people who demonstrate an understanding of the needs of people with disabilities. Responding to the chal-lenges faced by the federal cus-tomer, Heaney said he thinks the top challenges facing CRPs that provide landscapingand grounds maintenance services are competitive pricing and quality. Heaney pointed out there is a lot to be gained by a federal agency that contracts with a CRP for grounds mainte-nance and landscapingservic-es. Interviews with a cross-section of CRPs that provide landscap-ing and grounds maintenance services nationwide reveal a myriad of experiences and challenges.

In warmer climates, the goal is In temperate climates, both strategies are employed. o A dense row of evergreens to the north and northwest works effectively for extreme and temperate climates.
