  1. My Cornerstone Piece By Ahmed Munshey

  2. Contents • Front Page • Other Information • Contents • Objective • House Design • Basic Human Needs • Lowering Ecological Footprints • Materials Used • Conclusion

  3. Other Information • All my surveys I used to get basic information about the “average” house. How many television, computers, storeys, people etc. people had. • It is important to know that the house outside is actually brick. It looks like it is wood but it is meant to be bricks.

  4. Objective My objective is to create a house for the average family that will: • Meet all their human needs • Decrease their carbon footprint increasingly I also want to: • Have a visual diagram of what the house will look like inside and out. • Show some of the materials that will be used to construct the house. • Elaborate on what I have put in the house and why.

  5. House Design (Outside) Front View Top View Side View (Right) Side View (Left)

  8. House Design (Inside) 2nd Floor Bathroom Master Bedroom Hall Bedroom Bedroom

  9. Basic Human Needs/Wants The following basic human needs have been accounted for in this household: • Internet/Computers • Televisions • Heaters • Swimming Pool for cooling down in Summer • Beds • Other Electronics (such as DVD player) • Kitchen Appliances (such as a microwave) • Bathrooms with operational showers

  10. Basic Human Needs (continued) • Running water • Bedroom for each person • A kitchen • Enough space for each person

  11. Basic Human Needs/Wants – Internet/Computers How many? Two. One in Study and one in Lounge room. What type of energy do they use and how do they get it? Electricity, solar panels and wind turbines create the energy.

  12. Basic Human Needs – Televisions/Wants How many? Two. One in Master Bedroom and one in Lounge room. What type of energy do they use and how do they get it? Electricity, solar panels and wind turbines create the energy.

  13. Basic Human Needs/Wants – Electric Heaters How many? Two. One in the downstairs hallway and one in the upstairs hallway. What type of energy do they use and how do they get it? Electricity, solar panels and wind turbines create the energy.

  14. Basic Human Needs/Wants – Swimming Pool How many? One outdoors. What type of energy do they use and how do they get it? Solar, a series of pipes are made on the roof that the water flows through and the sun heats the pipes heating the water.

  15. Basic Human Needs/Wants – Beds How many? Three. One in each bedroom. Queen-size bed in master bedroom. What type of energy do they use and how do they get it? Electricity to heat, solar panels and wind turbines create the energy.

  16. Basic Human Needs/Wants – Other Electronics What type of energy do they use and how do they get it? Electricity to heat, solar panels and wind turbines create the energy

  17. Basic Human Needs/Wants – Kitchen Appliances What type of energy do they use and how do they get it? Electricity to heat, solar panels create the energy.

  18. Basic Human Needs/Wants – Bathrooms How many? Two. One upstairs What type of energy do they use and how do they get it? Filtered water tank water used for showers. Gas heating for water.

  19. Basic Human Needs/Wants – Running Water What type of energy do they use and how do they get it? Water is not from water tank or filtered. Gas heating for water.

  20. Basic Human Needs/Wants – Kitchen How many? One What type of energy do they use and how do they get it? Electricity to heat, solar panels and wind turbines create the energy. Gas to create fire over stove from government. Water not from water tank or filtered.

  21. Lower Ecological Footprints The following ways of saving or creating energy have been used. • Solar Panels (Solar energy) • Water Tanks • Small Wind Turbines (Wind energy) • Insulation • Energy Efficient Light bulbs • Solar Pool Heating Pipe System

  22. Lower Ecological Footprints - Solar Panels How many? 20+ What does it do? Creates solar energy used for electricity.

  23. Lower Ecological Footprints – Water Tanks How many? 1 What does it do? Collects rain water that is used for gardening and other activities that require water.

  24. Lower Ecological Footprints – Small Wind Turbines How many? 4 What does it do? Creates wind energy used for electricity.

  25. Lower Ecological Footprints – Insulation What does it do? Keeps the house warm and somewhat eliminates need for heating.

  26. Lower Ecological Footprints – Energy Efficient Light Bulbs How many? 15 What does it do? Saves electricity and are more efficient ways of lighting

  27. Lower Ecological Footprints – Solar Pool Heating Pipe System What does it do? Heats pool with solar energy and save electricity.

  28. Materials Used The following materials were used to build this house: • Brick • Wood/Planks • Carpet • Tiles • Wooden Floorboards

  29. Materials Used - Brick Where? The garage and most of the outer house has brick layering. Why? Brick is strong and provides stern support for the outer house.

  30. Materials Used – Wood Where? The walls are made of wood and have been painted. Why? Wood is used because of its strength, appearance and ability to allow heat to pass through the wall while the insulation keeps the heat in.

  31. Materials Used - Carpet Where? The upstairs and study room (except bathroom) is completely carpeted. Why? The reason for the carpeting is because it provides a comfortable floor for the upstairs and creates a home-like feeling.

  32. Materials Used - Tiles Where? Both bathrooms are tiled and the roof has tile as well. Why? Tiles are commonly used in bathrooms and help to cool it down after a hot shower.

  33. Materials Used – Wooden Floorboards Where? The downstairs area (except for study and bathroom) have wooden floor boards. Why? Wooden floor boards look nice and seem to create a feeling of energy efficiency/greenery within the house.

  34. Conclusion In conclusion, this house is a design/idea for a greener house that BALANCES human needs with a lower carbon footprint. I believe I have successfully created a visual diagram of what the house will mostly look like inside and out, I have shown some of the materials that were used in the construction and, elaborated on what I have put in the house and why.
