EWB Organization Introduction - 6:25
Personal benefits to working on our projects
Work experience!
Implementation experience
Report writing
Research
Meeting building codes and strict regulations
Design
Ramah Project Overview - 6:30
Project history
EE Senior Design Project
Lighting
Did not educate the community on upkeep and maintenance
Renewable energy - solar
One of the few local projects allowed by EWB-USA
Hoogan - pictures
Community Need - Hoogan Heating
Students
Teach students about new and green technology
Try to inspire them to pursue higher education in technical fields
Weavers Coop
Making good progress so far
Design is almost finished!
Goal: summer implementation
Need to keep good community relations
Implementation Questions
What does the community need / what can we accomplish given funds and time
Alternatives analysis
Where we are now
Design components are complete
Insulation for the roof
B&P Professional Engineer Consultants
Double checked designs and calculations
Need
What type of solar panels do we need
What kind of radiators should we get
How are we going to pay for it
Fundraising Ideas!!!
To Do List - 6:40
Education
Community
How to communicate with the community to teach them how to use and maintain the system that we are working on
Solar energy
Technology
School
Teaching the local school children about general science, water safety, green energy, technology…
Funding
Budget appx $10,000.00 (sans expected donations and donated equipment)
Possible donations
Solar panels
Radiator(s)
Need
We need to finalize the design and costs lists to make donations easier to acquire
Design Brainstorming Session - 7:00
Design overview
Diagram
Panel angle
80 deg angle
Liability issues to be considered
Pouring a concrete base for panel mounting
This system will maximize solar abilities in the winter and minimize the heat in the summer
Also in the summer the panels will be covered easily to shut down the entire system
The glycol solution cannot undergo too high of a heat or else the solution will separate and need to be evacuated and replaced
Pump station overview
Piping
Copper
More malleable
Cheaper than steel
More difficult to fit
Stainless Steel
50% more expensive than copper
Fittings
Radiators
Research options
Base board heaters
$4/ft Cheap but flimsy and Fragile
"Maxi"
Compact
Sturdy
Expensive!
Pumps
From thermal storage tank to the radiators
Controlled by the digital control system
Automated digital control system
Thermocouples at designated points on the pipe system will control the heating system
New Panel Technology - 7:37
Research
Interesting stuff!
What's Next!
#1 Design finalizations
Talk to consultants about future requirements
Meetings every Wednesday at 6pm
Education
Planning educations projects and activities
Members
We need more members to assist in our research and the work needed for the project
Anyone and everyone can lend a hand in the project we just need some of your time!
