NEW Blauhaus
Building experiment depending on engineering efficiencies, pv, computer controls, etc. in Mönchengladbach, NRW.
Informational explanations (partial) from Herr Marc Andre Muller (clip #10 in this album)
Looking forward to posting results from future seasons as they inhabit the building and learn how to "tune" or "navigate" in the senses of design with climate, adapt to climate, improve climate. Then, how/if to apply data to further designs and climates. Visited 13 September 2016
