Project Description

  • Create a sustainable heating solution for homes on the Navajo and Hopi

reservations

  • Goal is to cut down the burning of coal and wood - finite resources
  • Red Feather works in Flagstaff to develop sustainable housing solutions to people
  • n the reservation
  • Need to find the right balance between health factors, heating efficiency, cost

Budget

  • Prototypes will likely occur in the second semester of the project
  • Anticipated expenses: software modeling and PCM samples

○ Sketchup and Equest ○ Equest is free to use ○ Sketchup costs $55 per year for students ○ May need PCM samples for prototyping and testing

  • Theoretical budget: $1200 ± $300 for the overall system
