'The simple basics of a solar home: Metaleen Thomas at TEDxHickory'

19:16 Jan 6, 2021
'Currently living in Granite Falls, North Carolina, Metaleen is a retired educator. She taught courses in the humanities and social studies fields (religion, philosophy, logic, and sociology) at area colleges and universities for over 40 years. However, neither being an architect nor an engineer didn\'t stop her from designing and building her own solar home. She knew from her years in education that it pays to do your homework. By reading books on solar design, finding and attending workshops on solar technology in the 21st Century, and asking many questions, she learned the simple concepts of solar design. Metaleen shares with us these concepts, illustrating how easy and cost effective it is to build a solar home.  (We apologize for the poor audio quality of this recording.  Circumstances beyond our control prevented us from being able to use the original audio recording.)  In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)'
