So, I'm designing a house...

Yesterday night I watched a video about thermodynamics. It was posted by Khan Academy and turned out to be much of what I already knew from Grade 11 Chemistry. He outlined the pressure/volume equation.

I also found interesting and helpful information on this website:

Mr. Humpartzoomian outlined the following things that would be important to consider when going about designing an environmentally friendly house:

-Thermodynamics

-Photoelectric Effect (If using solar panel heating, etc.)

-Different technologies

-Skimatics (Ask Mr. Kelly)

-Google Sketch-up

-AutoCad

-Having a scaled diagram (using a ruler)

Next step: 

Talk to Mr. Kelly about what he thinks would assist me in designing my project.

Goal for this week: 

Have a rough plan of what my design is going to be made up of.
