Our Design • Our design incorporates the usage of skylights, Nanogel technology, Solatubes, light shelves, and Illumiwalls. These features work together to create optimal lighting for all environments of the home.
Our Concepts • All concepts are based on our Morphology table • Seasonal control skylight glazing panel with passive solar energy switching • Nanogel • Solatube • Glazed Windows • Translucent Interior walls
About our Concept • The concept we chose to develop included a combination of features: • Skylights made with a special design of glass • Large windows made with Nanogel • Solatubes • We also made some additions to the concept: • A light shelf is used to light the entire hallway • The bedroom features the use of Illumiwalll technology • A bay window was added to the living room
Cost Analysis • Cost to Prototype: 4 people x $30.00 an hour x 11.5 hours + $39.00 materials= $1419.00 • $30.00 is median hourly engineer wage • We spent $24.00 on wax paper, batteries and LED lights • We estimated the cost of cardboard, glue, paint, and transparencies to be $15.00 • We spent an estimated 11.5 hours working on the prototype • Our final total cost to make this prototype: $1419.00
The Living Room • The living room features the use of skylights over the areas where light is needed most. • The kitchen • The living area • There is also a bay window made of double insulated glass, along with four other windows that will harness the power of Nanogel technology. • All of these features will help to efficiently light the room and control the temperature of the home.
The Living Room June 12 pm
The Bathroom/Hallway • The bathroom will be lit using two Solatubes. • This will spread the lighting evenly throughout the room. • The hallway will have a light shelf running the full length. • This will evenly distribute light to the hallway without glare from the sun.
The Bedroom • The majority of the bedroom walls will be made of Illumiwall, which is made of two panels of glazed glass with a light fixture in between. • This will allow light into the room during the day and provide lighting for the room at night. • The light fixtures in the bedroom present a gentle ambient light, the color of which can be selected by the customer for installation.
