What the photographs show
Andy Shack — Temperature monitoring charts
Andy Shack — Double Play / Radiator Project temperature monitoring chart, June 2000. The Andy Shack is the Zomeworks test building in Albuquerque, used for experiments since 1988.
Andy Shack — temperature monitoring chart, June 2002. Companion chart showing system performance two years later.
Bruce W. Davis Studio — Double Play installation
Bruce W. Davis Studio — Sky Mat radiator/absorbers and thermosiphon cooling, August 2004. The same project appears in the Baer AIA slideshow as: “Double Play™ System using Skymats™ to Cool Studio for Bruce Davis, Architect, Albuquerque, NM (2004).”
Double Play installation progress report — the earliest visual documentation of a Zomeworks system deployed at a collaborator’s building.
Cool Cell documentation
How To Get Started — Cool Cell installation. Zomeworks services: design consulting, materials, on-site support.
Cool Cell Q&A — development, partners, market, installation, and production.
Why it matters
The Andy Shack is explicitly referenced in the storing-heat-for-cloudy-winter-days source, where temperature measurements from March 2001 show the shack at 60°F with shutters closed (45°F outside, 90°F overhead pipes) and 75–80°F with shutters open. The Andy images are primary visual evidence for the thermal shutter system.
The Davis Studio photos are the earliest visual documentation of a Double Play installation on a collaborator’s building — confirming that Zomeworks systems were deployed outside the company’s own yard by 2004.
