During biweekly energy meetings,
Brown, Hecht and representatives
from other organizations come to
gether to discuss and plan different
ways to conserve energy on campus.
In recent projects, Brown and oth
ers tried to increase efficiency of gas
and steam use because the University
didn't know how much it used cam
pus-wide. To help manage the prob
lem, Brown helped create an internal
Web site to plot daily usage at the
University. Although one would as
sume colder temperatures would
cause a spike in usage during the win
ter months, the Web site revealed that
If you want a
good job when
you graduate,
you need a
great job

usage remained the same during
spring and summer months.
"We were suspicious of the steam
system on campus," Brown said.
Considering the majority of steam
went to heating pools and domestic
water, which is under-used, Brown
said, solar collection seemed like to
best solution during clear, summer
time weather.
After the installation of solar pan
els in mid-July, Hecht said the Univer
sity has made plans to start putting
them up all over campus.
Through other projects, Brown
helped to improve energy efficiency
for buildings such as the Lillis Com
plex, PLC and the School of Music.
For these projects, Brown gets a lot of
use out of an artificial sky lab located
in Pacific Hall. Designed by one of his
graduate students and paid for by the
Eugene Water & Electric Board, the
large mirrored box reproduces over
cast light conditions for various build
ing models.
Graduate student Chris Chatto has
worked with "Charlie" on several day
lighting studies and real-world proj
ects. Chatto is one of a handful of par
ticipants in this year's graduate
research fellowship, a program that
employs fellows to collaborate on sus
tainable projects. He said his first im
pression of Brown was an inspiring
one.
"He's obviously a smart guy and he
is very hardworking and methodical,"
he said.
Born in Mobile, Ala., Brown re
ceived a bachelor's degree from
Michigan State University in industri
al design in 1964, a master's degree
from Michigan State in industrial and
graphic design in 1966, a Master of
Business Administration degree mar
keting from the University of Akron in
1971 and a master's degree in archi
tecture from Yale University in 1974.
Brown said his motivation for
teaching architecture was based on
"straight economics." While continu
ing his education at the graduate level,
Brown started to teach at the Universi
ty in 1 977 to save tuition money and
get paid for what he likes to do.
"I've never seen another job I liked
more," he said. "It's a perfect fit for
me."
As a professor, Brown has taught
numerous subjects, including com
puter-aided design and advanced
courses in sight and building energy
simulation.
Although he fell in love with archi
tecture before sustainability, Brown
said both come into play when he
works on campus. And while some
professors at the University may teach
primarily to inspire students, Brown
said he also teaches to leam.
With aspirations to teach sustain
able architecture one day, Chatto said
he looks up to Brown as both an edu
cator and a friend.
"He has really helped to make the
University a leading school for a more
ecological approach to architecture by
attracting new faculty and making a
name for the school," he said. "He's a
big influence in my goal to teach."

group's request as well.
The senate also postponed a re
quest from campus radio station
KWVA for two new computers, pend
ing a decision on the station's minor
equipment request.
KWVA is moving to a touch-screen
computer system and needs equip
ment to support it, said KWVA Gener
al Manager Charlotte Nisser.
"Part of our struggle is keeping up
with technology," Nisser said. "It
would be nice to have tlje computers
in place just to make life easier."
Senate Ombudsman Mike Sher
man said the request was unusual.
"Last year, we didn't have any
equipment requests from surplus," he
said. "We're kind of moving into new
territory here."
Senator Kevin Day said that tickets
for the Dec. 17 men's basketball game
against Santa Clara University will be
distributed Dec. 1 and that only about
305 student tickets will be available.
