This thesis deals with landscape architectural site-planning considerations of on-site alternative energy and material resources. On-site resources are those occurring on nearly every site. In, particular, the energies are solar, wind, water, and organic-waste; the materials are rock and earth. The thesis content includes basic information and guidelines necessary for making preliminary design decisions regarding these alternatives. Emphasis has been placed on analyzing site conditions, on measuring the available resource, on estimating the usable energy resource available, on storing the energy and on the use of the resource.In addition, there is a case study demonstrating the use of the information in the site-design process for a wind machine. The Appendix lists names and addresses of manufacturers concerned with alternative energy resources as well as containing examples of some of the literature for the wind energy industry. / Department of Landscape Architecture
