  1. Design Project 1:Building a sustainable communityEDSGN 100Section 006 By UchennaAnizoba

  2. Project Objective /Problem Identification • What is Sustainability? • Customers Needs/ Possible client requirements • Specifications- Ideas and Criteria • Water and Waste Water systems • Heating/Power systems or supply • Calculations • Prototype • References Table of Contents

  3. The objective/task was to create a sustainable house and living community in a designated existing building space Sustainability involves meeting social, economic and environmental needs of today without affecting future generations’ ability to do the same. Problem and Objective

  4. A balance of three main components: • Social • Environment • Economic What is Sustainability and why we want it? Fig. 1 sustainability venn diagram

  5. Target customer: family of 4 Fig 2. Customer needs assessment process Customer Identification/Needs Assessment • Affordability • Safety • Comfortability • Quality • Aesthetic value Fig 3. Pie chart showing priority needs

  6. From customer/client needs, some specs identified were: • Electricity, Proper Heating/Lighting for the houses • Water system (good plumbing) • Structural integrity for safety • Insulation • Good quality flooring • Fire protection • Environmentally safe habitat (no unnecessary pollution etc.) • Accessible community Specifications

  7. Decision Making (post customer needs) Fig. 5 Decision making hierarchy for most subsystems in project

  8. Project Details Fig 6 Specific systems in house to consider

  9. CurrentSiteLayout

  10. Proposed site Layout

  11. Housing Floor Plan

  12. ReusableConcrete blocks Reusable Planks/timber Building materials /resources Local Woods/Vinyl ReusableAsphalt

  13. InsulatingConcrete Forms (ICFs) Cost per sq foot = $80 -$100 Maintenance= $4-$5 Fig 7. ICFs

  14. Estimated daily water use • 50litres/household • Reduce at least 30% of water usage by: • Energy efficient washing and drying machines • Low capacity flow shower heads • LowFlush Toilets Water Source Table 2. Matrix for Water Sources

  15. Rainwater For its location, State College has decent annual rainfall of between 29.8-46.3 inches. Fig. Rainwater collection for house use

  16. Local Water Source Fig. Groundwater

  17. Groundwater Fig 9 and 10. Groundwater distribution

  18. High pressure tanks • Softening agents Water (contd)

  19. Septic Tank systems Fig. 20. A Structure of Underground

  20. Energy/Heat Clean energy choices that met most of the criteria was: -Solar -Geothermal -Wind

  21. Energy Choice: Solar • Installation- 20 kW system = $50,000 • Maintenance per household= $2,500/year • Efficiency of panels, space (sq. m),

  22. Geothermal energy • Installation cost= $30,000 • Maintenance per year= $3,000 • Average production Fig 10. Geothermal energy

  23. Wind energy Class 2 wind speed (14.3 mph) 100 W/m2 At 10 m height Fig 11 Average wind power distribution in the U.S

  24. Average Energy Obtained and Used Fig. 13 Weather variations affecting energy use Fig 12. pie chart showing energy use in household

  25. The approx.total Cost calculatedis 250,000per house. Road system remodeling for area - $50,000 Structure= $120,000 Heating= $30,000 Waste water= $15,000 Water= $45,000 Alternative energy source= $20,000 Summary/Conclusion
