PROJECT 2: "ECO-HOUSE" (text)

From the photo, we can see the ventilation of the building structure and the section of the building. It is quite important because passive ventilation reduce the usage of the electricity. We can observe that less ventilation are presented in the toilet. as we know the toilet is the area with high humidity, so the top hung vents are added for the ventilation purpose. For the section, the louvers which are below the roof allow the ventilation of the building.

PROJECT 2: "ECO-HOUSE"

The eco-house is used for the various purpose. The properties of this building are environmental friendly and minimizing the release of Carbon Dioxide (CO2). So, I had tapped with autonomous technology in my building design, such as solar panel and rain harvest system to minimize the usage of electricity and the water supply. For the ventilation of the building, the louvers had set on the lower part of my roof and the air-conditioner which releases CFC(a chemical compound which destroy the ozone layer) are prohibited.

Project 2: ventilation flow test

SAM_2994

SAM_2995
It was what we had done in the machine.

SAM_2996
The worker put the ink in to the machine.

SAM_2997

SAM_2999
It was the 1st try, failed ad, u can see the flow can passed through the wall~

SAM_3003
It was the flow for the section, simple but worked.

SAM_3006
I redid it again, haiz~


The ventilation flow test is the test to determine whether the ventilation of a building work. So we had to do the test, although ah foong did not do the test, because he felt that it is not necessary.

That day, I arrived the lab earlier because 1 day before, the lab was flooded by people. Kian Hong waited in front of lab already, so we did it together, I forgot to bring my cellophane tape, luckily Kian Hong borrowed me.

But, the tape was not thick enough, the flow flowed though it, so the 1st test was failed. Kian Hong and me were frustrated. Luckily, Shu Hui came and gave us the tape she used( the thicker 1) and finally it was successful.
