Materials Lists User friendly program to calculate materials needed for home construction User friendly program to calculate materials needed for home construction – Easy to read format – Simple questions about layout of home Describe alterations from current plans Provide data for calculations Complete list of materials for all homes Complete list of materials for all homes
11
Calculations Number of exterior windows? Number of exterior windows? – No calculations necessary, direct input Square footage of house? Square footage of house? – Area of drywall needed for ceiling – Used for area of drywall on the walls
12
Limitations of Program Many different styles of homes Many different styles of homes – External front porch – Internal front porch – Porch on side of house Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC – Difficult to estimate
13
Future Plans Complete program for calculating materials lists Complete program for calculating materials lists Create construction schematic drawings Create construction schematic drawings

Semester Tasks Existing Home Analysis – Baseline evaluation of new houses – Annual utility cost breakdowns – Utility cost verification – Thermal imaging scan (performed by Thermoscan inc.) Efficiency Improvements – Temperature setback/setup analysis – Window vs. Central air conditioning analysis – Exterior Housewrap analysis
16
Baseline Evaluation of New Houses Utilize Energy-10 to model the house in order to develop an energy profile Utilize Energy-10 to model the house in order to develop an energy profile Eight additional homes were added this semester for a total of 31 homes. Eight additional homes were added this semester for a total of 31 homes.

Annual Utility Cost Breakdowns
18
Verify Costs With Utility Companies Performed utility company survey of 35 current Habitat houses Performed utility company survey of 35 current Habitat houses Our models prediction costs were reasonably accurate as compared to utility company data Our models prediction costs were reasonably accurate as compared to utility company data
