Green Design & Retrofit Renovation

#nafnext

Green Design Unit Overview• Subunit 1: World in Balance – This subunit introduces the

unit and deeply explores issues driving the need to “green” the architecture and building trades

• Subunit 2: Project Planning – Students research factors important to building design and reconcile client wishes with project parameters

• Subunit 3: Going Green – These lessons provide students with large view of responsibility regarding resource management and also information on how to improve the performance of their final building design

Project Overview

Title:• CEA Integrated Units: Green Energy & Retrofit Renovation

Participants:• English III • Algebra II and CEA • Chemistry • American History

#nafnext

Process and Outcome• Research paper titled “Imagine the world with no

access to oil.”

• Survey the site for differential leveling

• Water Quality Test: pH Protocol

• Comparative study of the past, present and predictive future of being efficient in building structures

ProjectNorth Miami Chamber of Commerce

Green Design

• Desire to go “Green”• Save money• Smart/wiser choice

Chamber

• Building across the street from school

• Opportunities: manage/oversee progress

• Work closely with members of Chamber.

• Received permission from Ron from Chamber to proceed.

Steps

• Research:– LEED appliances– Adjustments for building– Furniture and interior design

• Commenced writing proposal

• Constructed model of building to see what needs to be modified

Research

• Visited green Campuses to collect ideas– FIU Hurricane center– Claude Pepper Park recreational center– Researched UM green building

• Conversed with other engineers• Took measurements from Chamber• Contacted other contracting companies

Interior Design and Aesthetics

• More stimulating environment means more stimulated workers which means more productivity.

• Maintain peaceful atmosphere• Interior Garden

Exterior Design

• Plants native to South Florida region• Changes to building to facilitate green

innovations– Water system– Solar panels

• Maintain aesthetics

Replacements and New Members

• Jesus Hernandez and Ashley Figueroa have graduated

• Search for more replacements

• New members: Malcolm Edmund and Tanisha Felix

• Looking for more to assist our team

Challenges

• Outside businesses doing business with students; reluctant

• Cooperating with each other– Waiting on each other in order to take the next

essential progression step

Thank you

• We look forward to the completion of this project towards the end of next school year
