SUMMARY:Open House New York 2018: Solar RoofPod & Harlem Garden for Urban F
 ood
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to all in conjunction with Open House New York. G
 uided tours at 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.\n\nVisit the rooftop of the Spitze
 r School of Architecture (Vinõly Architects) to see its Solar Roofpod an
 d urban farm. This student-designed 800 s.f. micro-dwelling is surrounded
  by a garden and apiary that provide Harlem residents and students with e
 xperience raising agricultural crops and keeping bees.\n\nThe Solar Roofp
 od is a plus-net-energy dwelling designed to provide local green energy f
 or urban buildings. The prototype was designed and built by students unde
 r the supervision of Prof. Christian Volkmann at City College for the Dep
 artment of Energy’s 2011 Solar Decathlon. It returned to CCNY in 2014 t
 o serve as a living classroom and a hub for sustainable design.\n\nWith it
 s 10 kWp of electricity and 12 kWp of additional thermal energy productio
 n\, the Roofpod provides surplus to its host building and can serve as a 
 resilient back-up system in case of grid outages. The modular building al
 lows elements to be freely combined. The building envelope\, the surround
 ing green roof system\, and the “solar trellis” comprise the structur
 e.\n\nThe adjoining Harlem Rooftop Garden provides the vital link among ST
 EM studies\, our local food system\, and health. The Spitzer School togeth
 er with the on-campus High School for Math\, Science and Engineering crea
 ted this urban farm and offer joint interdisciplinary programs for high s
 chool and college students. The farm contains plants in containers with a
