1. For this project we edited our 2nd floor of the keystone library. I added a precast concrete floor to my second floor.

3. I enjoyed this project. Learning what different types of floors you could put in a commercial building is fun!

Structural Efficiency

1. This project inlcuded a small group of three where we built a structure out of 12 playing cards and masking tap. the sturcture had to be 8 inches tall and hold atleast 5 pounds. We calculated our structural load based on how much our structure could hold over the weight of our sturcture.

In the class competition we ended up getting third place in overall structural efficiency.

4,395 / 33 = 133.18 structural efficiency

The test results of our prelimanary efficiency was a structure weight of 22g and had an effciency of only 46. We had to make design revisions to our first structure which included going from a rectangle base to a all triangle tower. The new tower worked fairly well but it would have worked even better if we interlocked the stacking of the mini trangle parts of the tower. SO like if we used an interlocking system it might work even better.

Commercial Roof

This project was about creating a low sloped roof on the 2nd floor roof and a green roof on the first floor roof. I had to research green roofs and low sloped roofs so I could build my green and low slop roof on the Keystone library as best as possible.

These are some pictures I found while researching green roofs and low sloped roofs. Green roofs are used for style and possible LEED credits. Low sloped roofs are used for commercial building roofs.

Reflection: I thought this project was fun. It helped me learn the uses and specifications of green roofs and low sloped roofs. I also enjoyed this project because editing my keystone library is always fun.

Wall types- Adding a wall to the Keystone Library

1. In this project I added a wall to the keystone library based on what I wanted on the library. I choose storfront glass otherwise known as a curtian wall to add to the keysotne library. I thought it looked good and daylighting is good for the library, thats why I choose the curtain wall.

3. I think this project was fun because I could reflect my imaginition on the library and add a daylighting window.  I also learned about all the different wall types for a commercial building.

Plumbing Plan

1.In this project, we created a plumbing plan on the floor plan of our house. It involved a display of hot water lines, cold water lines, and a drainage line.

3. I liked this project because I enjoy working on my house. I learned a lot about plumbing. Good project.

Affordable House- Site Plan

1. In this project we edited our site plan by adding sewer lines and water lines then adding trees and a driveway. We finished our floor elevation and completed the location of our house on the site.

3. I enjoyed this projec because I feel like I have almost finalized my final house design. Learning the thought that goes into a site plan is fun learning.

"Affordable House- Support Drawings"

1. For this project, I used the habitat for humanity electrical code to add outlets, lights, swithces, electrical meter and an electrical panel. I used the code to follow the guidelines for spacing of outlets and other rules.

2.

To change my houses daylighting, i simply removed a window from the north face and added a window to the southface of the house. (south face shown on picture above). The windows in the south cause the house to recieve more light in the winter and less in the summer whne it is already warmer and lighter. The electrical meter is found on the left side of the south face.

On the image above, the electrical panel is found in the closet in the bottom right hand corner of the house.

4. I liked this project because it gave me a chance to personalize my house on an electrical and lighting stand point. The code was sometimes hard to read at times but overall the project was great!
