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.

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

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

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

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

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
