Lab 8: Green Building Lab Report
Gianna Stern
April 29, 2018
Methods (15 points): To start this lab, the experimenter traveled to a cul-de-sac in a neighborhood full of houses. The purpose of this lab is to enter a vacant house, explore the insides, scan the living areas for opportunities to improve environmental friendliness, in other words, make it more “green.” Firstly, the experimenter had to find a vacant house and speak to the Estate Agent to take ownership of the building. After receiving a list of the rooms, each one was navigated through and explored to find objects and beneficial ways to make the house more green. Whether it was upgrading to a certain model, cleaning or adding something new, there were several different ways to improve efficiency of energy in every room in the house.
Results - Table (45 points):
Table #1: Table depicting changes made to different objects in various rooms, included with their reasoning and value.
