Sustainable Design Challenge

Goal: To design a sustainable, off-grid home

Design Criteria:

Location: can be anywhere on earth, Mars or the moon Size: enough for two people (minimum) Energy: must harvest and store its own energy Water: must harvest and store its own water Waste: provide means to dispose of waste Materials: where possible, use local materials Heating-cooling: must maintain a temp of 22°C (72°F) year round Lighting: passive lighting where possible Ventilation: airflow to keep CO2 below 800 ppm Sound: must be below 60 dB at all times Environmental-cultural resonance: must fit into the environment Access: must be accessible for access to resupply Food: where possible, grow food and/or herbs onsite Water runoff: where possible, limit erosion and runoff into water bodies (streams, rivers, oceans) Impact: where possible, offset ecological impact (flora, fauna) Beauty: should inspire and create curiosity about your design Site: where possible, include solar, wind and water orientation Toxic materials: nothing on the red list (toxic in ~~progress~~creation, use or disposal) Sick building syndrome: no vapors harmful to humans

First design report:

1. location (google earth or maps)
2. biome (pick from one system)
3. water sources (rain, river, ocean, well, etc.)
4. light (seasons, shading, solar radiation)
5. wind (ventilation, power, etc.)
6. temperature extremes (insulation, thermal mass)

7. possible energy sources (wind, tidal, geothermal, PV, etc.)

APES green building project

First, think of what you need as a human:

Air Water Energy

Next, consider the following about your project:

What is the purpose of your building? (home, hotel, school, office, number of people, etc.) Where is your building located? (lighting, rain, wind, terrain, etc.) What materials do you have access to? How will you design your building: design, beauty, inspiration

You will be evaluated on the following metrics, with points in each category:

energy materials site beauty and inspiration water indoor quality

You will also need to include an analysis of sustainability and carbon impact.

What you need to present:

A detailed visual presentation A detailed written presentation
