West Village

Project: West Village at UC Davis is a mixed-use community that tightly integrates residential and educational facilities into a singular neighborhood. For inhabitants, West Village is both home and school. This tight integration allows for innovation on several fronts, particularly that of sustainability. West Village aims to be a “net zero energy” community; the community produces all of the energy it needs to consume. West Village relies on several technologies and innovations, not just a singular one, to achieve this front. The goal of this project is to provide a self-guided tour and experience that educates visitors about the various technologies that keep West Village in a net zero energy state.
