8
Prathima Venkatesan Point of Sales Database Purpose Track inventory and donors in the Habitat resale store Increase the organization and maintainability of the resale store Status Completely functional Waiting to be integrated
9
Prathima Venkatesan Resale Store Resale store sells donated building materials not used by Habitat System must be intuitive so volunteers can be quickly trained
10
Prathima Venkatesan POS Database and Overview Keep track of donated and sold materials Donor name Item donated Item type Quantity Cost estimation Future additions to the database Bar-coding system Label printing system

Thermal Imaging Scan Requested by Habitat for Humanity of Lafayette to look at effects of changing insulation and drywall materials Two-story rehab house on Green Street evaluated with new and old wall materials
17
Donnie Austin Thermal Imaging Scan Slight improvement found (1-2°F) in walls Heat loss through windows, doors and corners (common)
18
Donnie Austin Carbon Monoxide Testing Problem Habitat was concerned that the design of the house was causing a problem with CO build up Dryer Exhaust may create a vacuum Hot water heater has an open flue House too ‘tight’
19
Donnie Austin Testing Tested two houses Max CO level was 3ppm Max allowable concentration in living area is 9ppm (ASHRAE) Testing concluded no CO problem in design Carbon Monoxide Testing
20
Donnie Austin Carbon Monoxide Testing Conclusion Possible for dryer to cause this problem If appliances are operating correctly and efficiently, no CO will build up
21
Donnie Austin Past Projects and Implementation Set-back thermostats in place Central air installed in all new homes
22
Brian Waller Team Conclusions Energy Team Setback Thermostat: $50 - $80 savings a year CO Testing No problem Thermal Image Scanning Great ability for the future
23
Brian Waller Team Conclusions Arch/Web Team POS Database Continuing next semester to completion Materials List Continually updated corresponding to each house Tutorials Updated, revised, and improved next semester
24
Brian Waller Habitat International Presented to Habitat International Introduce EPICS and our capabilities to Habitat International Very receptive Will receive new projects
