  1. Jessica Bigham, Kevin Farley, Chris Mitchell, Morgan Oster Daylighting

  2. Design Process • Customer Needs • Conceptualization • Literature and Patent Searches • Benchmarking • Product Dissection • Revise and Redesign • Concept Selection • Detail Design

  3. Project Managment

  4. Customer Needs

  5. Revised Problem Statement • Our target population is homeowners looking to save energy through daylighting • Use natural sources to light and heat a house without releasing heat in winter and retaining heat in the summer.

  6. Concepts • For our concepts we focused particularly on the windows and how we could light the house better and make it more eye pleasing

  7. Concepts • Shade vs. Tint vs. Nothing • Plants indoor vs. Plant outdoors • Glass vs. Plastic • One pane vs. Two pane • Screen vs. No screen • Opening up vs. Opening out

  8. Criteria for Selection • Safety • Expense • Amount of light coming in • Heat efficient • Pleasing to the eye

  9. Bill of Materials • Each garden window is $514 • 48x36x12 • There are five total • Top skylight • Made up of ten 21 1/2 x 46 3/8 in • Safety glass • $202 each • Skylight on the side it tinted • Total cost of all windows is $4,590 • Low-E2, Argon Gas Filled Comfortplus Glass

  10. Comfortplus glass Comfortplus glass features a double-layer of low-E coating for increased energy efficiency plus a laminated pane for added safety and protection from fade-causing UV rays

  14. Engineering Analysis • Reduced energy costs • Windows allow enough light to come in • Safe • Money saved over time will surpass the cost for the windows

  15. Conclusions • Meets problem statement requests • Meets all customer needs
