EPICS: Engineering Projects In Community Service EPICS is a unique program in which teams of undergraduates are designing, building, and deploying real systems to solve engineering-based problems for local community service and education organizations. 3 Community Partners Academic Structure Epics Students & Teams Fulfilling Mutual Needs Boiler Green Initiative

The Hillel House 4  Hillel is the Foundation for Jewish Campus Life  Student groups  Where is it located? Israel Council at Purdue Boiler Green Initiative

5 Community Need  Creating a more energy efficient & environmentally friendly building Reduce Electricity consumption by 15% and gas consumption by 20-30% Cost savings will allow more money to be utilized for student activities Hillel House Boiler Green Initiative  Utilize this opportunity as a learning tool for the community

6 Project Goals  Strategic plan to maximize energy savings  Investigate All Potential Alternatives Winterized Building Green Roof Geothermal Energy Windows Replacement Recommendation Solar  Passive Solar  Solar Energy  Solar Water Heating Rain Garden  Energy Audit Hillel House Boiler Green Initiative

7 Winterization  Implemented Insulation Covered windows with plastic Replaced broken panes  Community Focus Help residences lower energy usage with easy tips Hillel House Boiler Green Initiative

Windows Recommendation 8 Boiler Green Initiative Current Windows Best Window and Door Company.28 U-Factor.28 Solar Heat Gain Coefficient Wide Variety of Styles Double Pane Argon Gas Insulated Units

9 Passive Solar  Natural lighting to reduce interior lighting needs  Natural heating to reduce energy needs Hillel House Boiler Green Initiative

Rain Garden: Overview  A shallow constructed depression that is planted with deep-rooted native plants & grasses.  Easy, cost effective, and aesthetically pleasing way to reduce the contribution to storm water pollution.  Eliminates the need for an irrigation system. 10 Boiler Green Initiative

11 Rain Garden Goals  Benefits Reduction of storm water contribution Create an ascetically pleasing garden Marketing potential for Tipmont  Deliverables Brochure Learning Tool for community Rain Garden Hillel House Boiler Green Initiative

Process of Building a Rain Garden 1. Research rain gardens 2. Determining the size/location of the rain garden Configure a retention pond to store water using parabola equations Behind Hillel House 3. Choose plants Native Plants Choose according to sun/water requirements 4. Construction of Rain Garden 30 Volunteer: EPICS Team Members & BGI Club Members 2-3 Hour Shifts 12 Boiler Green Initiative Hillel House

Size and Location  Collect data from the weather site  Precipitation of rainfall  Area of the roof  Total volume (gallons/day) collected  Probability of collecting a range of gallons per rain event 13 Boiler Green Initiative

Storage Calculations 14 We are going to capture 600 gallons per rain event. Boiler Green Initiative Hillel House Dimensions Depth = 0.8 ft Length = ft
