The result of this effort is the document, SOM/CDR: Industrial Fabrication, Energy, and the Urban Dwelling. In addition, Dunay and Wheeler delivered lectures at Aalto University in Helsinki, Finland. A conference sponsored by the U.S. Embassy focused on recent research into sustainability and net-zeor energy dwellings. Dunay’s lecture focused on Innovations in Energy Efficient Buildings.
