dc.description.abstractThe high cost of land in large urban centers and increasing energy costs have prompted the revival of an old method of construction. Joint occupancy is the sharing of land for different combinations of uses. There are many concerns in our cities where land costs are exorbitant and many users compete for the available ground. In the case of public schools, high construction costs, difficult and expensive credit, and even the loss of revenue when schools are removed from the tax rolls, all contribute to the taxpayers unwillingness to pay for new schools. The United States' increasing dependence on foreign oil and ever-increasing energy costs have resulted in government incentives for building insulation and the development of solar energy. There are a few larger scale projects but mostly the use of solar energy has been at the residential scale. This thesis attempts to provide one solution to a set of cumulative problems.en
