2. Agenda Black band lives here! Architectural Foundations Structural Hydronic System Building Thermal Solar Thermal

3. Architectural First Floor Black band lives here!

4. Architectural Second Floor Black band lives here!

5. Architectural Basement? Black band lives here! • Initial research showed that few houses in New Mexico are built with basements, due to poor soil conditions • Further research into the soil conditions, using www.websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov, has shown that almost half of the soil in the Albuquerque area would not be a limiting factor as far as basements are concerned • Thus, further consideration shall have to be taken as far as the basement situation is concerned • Additionally, both floors need windows added to them

6. FoundationCompression due to House Black band lives here! • According to the International Residential Code, the live load varies from about 20 to about 60 pounds per square foot ≈ 40psf • First Floor: 40 psf • Second Floor: 30 psf • Roof: 30 - 50+ psf ≈ 40psf • All units then converted to metric, for consistency • Produced the following table:

7. FoundationCompression due to House Black band lives here! • For concrete : 3,500 psi = 2460850 kg/m2 • For cinder blocks : 2,200 psi = 1546820 kg/ m2

8. FoundationForce Caused by Soil Black band lives here! • Frost line Depth = 9’’ = .2286 m • Minimum Footing Depth = 6’’ Below Frost line = 15’’ = .381 m • If a basement is feasible, depth = 8’ = 2.44 m • Had difficulty finding a specific soil density, instead just found a large range of densities • Created the following table, displaying the force caused by the soil, as a function of soil depth and soil density

10. FoundationBending stress Caused By Soil Black band lives here! • Columns in yellow: minimum depth and “basement” depth • From here moments and bending stresses caused by these forces can be determined • Based on prior knowledge, it is already known that rebar will be necessary • For now .2302 m is used as a thickness

12. FoundationWhat's Next Black band lives here! • From here I need to determine if any of these will give the desired factor of safety • Assuming they won't, I'll need to determine amount of rebar required • Can also determine if the thickness can simply be increased • A cost comparison should also take place • Check to see if any pros/cons from one type significantly outweigh others

18. Hydronic System Analysis • Transports fluid between FPCs and Storage Tank • Appropriate pump, valves and piping are to be chosen given an array of FPCs System Schematic

19. Hydronic System Analysis • With 5 FPCs • Max head = 40.40 ft • Pipe Diameter= 1.5” • Flow Rate = 20gpm • With 10 FPCs • Max head = 40.14 ft • Pipe Diameter= 2.0” • Flow Rate = 40gpm Calculations

20. Hydronic System Analysis • Both cases require similar head • 10 FPCs requires a greater flow rate Pump Selection • Cost with 5 FPCs • $513.35 • Cost with 10 FPCs • $737.84

21. Hydronic System Analysis • Gate and Ball valves • Minimal pressure drop • Good for on/off applications • Globe Valve • Creates some pressure drop • Good for regulating flow Valve Selection

22. Hydronic System Analysis • Copper • Proven durability • Fire resistant • Requires skilled labor to install/repair • Galvanized Steel • High durability • Expensive • Very difficult to repair • CPVC • Cheap • Self-insulated • Lightweight • Easy to work with • Can become brittle and discolored when exposed to UV rays • PVC • Shares many of the upsides of CPVC • Not suitable for hot water usage Piping materials

23. Hydronic System Analysis • CPVC • 1.5” Diameter • $42.45 per 10 ft • 2.0” Diameter • $58.76 per 10 ft • Copper • 1.5” Diameter • $94.76 per 10 ft • 2.0” Diameter • $149.46 per 10 ft Piping Costs
