Taja Glasco

W1A3
Concrete slabs are laid over the soil and create heat
transfer.(Underwood 154) Concrete slabs can lose heat as
well, which makes insulating and sealing necessary.
Foundation insulation can result in lower heating
requirements and help avoid water vapor condensation
problems. In addition, it can also be expensive for an
existing building and many exterior insulation materials
are not subject to insect infestations. On the down side,
many insulation types require fire-rated covering, may
increase frost depth around the slab, in summer it
separates from the cooler earth and cause a loss in head
space of about 2 inches.
Insulated Foundation
An un-insulated foundation can result in a large heat loss
and lower rooms can also be very uncomfortable.
Condensation problems can often be caused by the
change of temperature in the lower levels and the soil
around the foundation. Furthermore, an un-insulated or
poorly insulated foundation can cause problems such as
radon filtration, moisture problems and insect
infestations. Radon filtration is the filtration of a naturally
occurring radioactive gas, that comes from the natural
breakdown of uranium and can cause serious health
issues and cancers.

The Fanslowes are working and retired grandparents with two grow
children and five grand children who visit weekly. The couple are
committed environmentalist but have had energy efficiency issues
in homes they have lived in prior. Deciding to downsize they would
like to have a home that is highly sustainable and that uses passive
solar and solar electric to power the home as well as sustainable
materials, finishes and features to be low maintenance. They require
a flexible sleep/play room for the grandchildren as well as a shared
home office/quilting room for the Mrs. Constraints of the project
include proper land and material use, careful use of equipment to
not damage the property, residential-single family zoning and
efficient use of sustainable building materials and less square
footage used for an overall smaller dwelling. The property does
have a waterline that runs below the property so proper building,
safety and protection and ICC code will have to be followed.

Justification
Solar Panels/Passive Solar Energy/solar electric (roof
mounted)- Use of solar panels to provide energy production and storage to
be used throughout the entire home. The sun porch as the aperture with its over
hang and south facing windows for energy collection as well is the mechanism to
collect the solar energy. The open floor plan, natural lighting and
concrete/masonry construction serves as the absorber.
SDHW heat system: Provides a percentage of the homes hot water supply
from the solar energy.
OVE framing- Decreases the amount of lumber used to build the home as
well as decreasing cost and the amount of materials needed.
Other techniques-
-Erosion controls to prevent collection of ground water as well as proper care of
the construction site to not damage the soil.
-Use of a high efficiency irrigation system and fixtures along with pipe insulation.
-Insulated foundation, which will also reduce radon and erosion.
- Prevention of construction waste
-Low VOC paint to improve indoor air quality
- Sustainable bamboo flooring and sustainable carpeting
-Sustainable low maintenance textiles
- Proper site selection and neighborhood research
- Basic landscaping with drought tolerant plants
- Proper site orientation to optimize energy collection with solar panels

Gray to Green: Impact of Use and lack of
Sustainable Design
What is the overall impact of the video on you and your
thoughts on selection of materials and sustainable design?
The video gray to green had a major impact on the way that I view design. Homes
and other structures can be beautiful and unique, extraordinary works or art.
However, after seeing examples of how large scale projects with large amounts of
waste can impact our environment, serious attention should be paid to how we
design and build. Further education and building practices that are specifically for
sustainable design should be implemented more often and backed by our
governments and investors to bring them to life. It was very disheartening to see
how we see sustainable practices and that it is actually frowned upon. With our
country and this world rapidly exhausting natural resources, saving the
environment in any way possible should be a priority. Other countries are already
practicing this standard of building and living, we should do so as well.

Introduction
The Improving Health Facility Infrastructure (IHFI) project, funded by USAID, works to improve the
access to and reliability of energy while reducing costs in health facilities in countries around the
world. In Guyana, IHFI has focused, in part, on solar PV electrification of rural health centers and
clinics.
In this context the IHFI Guyana energy team conducted sites assessments of several hinterland
health centers/outposts to design and implement energy solutions to improve delivery of health
services.
This manual outlines certain preventive maintenance elements of small stand-alone solar PV
systems. It explains routine maintenance tasks involved in the care of batteries, solar panels, wiring
and loads for stand-alone PV systems. The picture below shows the components of a typical stand-
alone system.
Battery Maintenance
A battery is a device which is used to store electrical charge. The pictures below show two common
types of batteries used in solar installations.
Batteries should be regularly and carefully maintained to extend their useful life. These activities
include:
1. Inspecting and cleaning regularly
2. Checking the electrolyte level (not required for Gel Batteries)
3. Keeping in a high state of charge
Precautions
To minimize hazards, the following precautions should be taken prior to carrying out battery
maintenance.
Do not smoke or light fire near batteries. Batteries produce hydrogen gas which is
highly flammable.
1. Switch off/disconnect all loads on the system. Turn off or disconnect the solar charge. Then turn
off the circuit breaker to and from the battery bank.
2. Ensure that the caps on the batteries are sealed tight to keep any dirt from entering the battery.
Wipe the top and outside of the battery with a (damp) cloth. If corrosion is present at the
terminals, mix baking soda with fresh water and apply the solution to the affected area.
Stubborn areas should be scrubbed with a metal brush. After cleaning, rinse the terminals with
water. If available, apply petroleum jelly or grease to the connected terminal to prevent future
corrosion.
3. Maintenance of gel cell and AGM batteries relates only to the battery terminals and connections.
The terminals and posts should be wiped until they are shiny, and if corroded, clean them
properly with Bi-carbonate soda and water. If available, apply petroleum jelly or grease to the
connected terminals.
Testing for the specific gravity of electrolyte in the battery is an accurate way to measure and
compare the state of charge of each individual cell.
The process of checking the electrolyte specific gravity for a "Deep Cycle Flooded" Lead Acid
battery is given below:
The table below shows typical battery state-of-charge at various levels of specific gravity. The
voltages mentioned below are for 12V and 6V batteries.
Note that the table above gives only indicative values; specific gravity will vary somewhat
depending on the battery type and brand, and on the batterys temperature.
The specific gravity readings of each cell should be recorded and maintained in a log sheet.
Another important measure in determining the battery state of charge is the battery voltage. A volt
meter is used to measure this quantity. The positive lead of the volt meter should be connected to
the battery's positive terminal and the negative lead of the volt meter should be connected to the
negative terminal of the battery. The table above shows the corresponding battery voltages and the
corresponding state of charge of the battery. After measuring each battery's voltage, it should be
recorded and maintained in a log sheet.
Battery Alerts
The solar system has an alarm to
produce a visual and audible
indication to alert a low battery
state of charge. When the battery
state of charge falls to 50% the
alarm will trigger and buzzer will
sound for 10 minutes. The buzzer
will be automatically turned off,
but will start again every 10
minutes.
Turn off lights connected to the
solar system to avoid
deterioration of the battery.
1. To remove a layer of dust and dirt from the modules, simply wash the panel with water. If
the module has thick dirt or grime and bird droppings, which are harder to remove, wash
with cold water and rub the panel surface with a sponge.
Do not use a metal brush to clean solar panel surface. Detergents should not be used.
3. The condition of the array mounting frame should also be noted. Items to observe should
include the array mounting bolts (e.g. bolt rusting) and checks to ensure that the frame and
modules are firmly secured. The junction boxes should also be checked to ensure that the
wires are not chewed by rodents or insects.
Take adequate precautions while doing maintenance of the solar panels since these are
located on rooftops and there is the risk of falling off.
If damage is found, consult with the installer as soon as possible. All ground wires should be
checked to ensure they are not broken.

Underlayments
Khrs Combo-System Underlayment
Combo Foam Underlayment System with Overlap: The width of a row of Khrs Combo-System Underlayment
is comprised of 40 of underlayment plus an 8 overlap flap. The overlap flap guards the flooring from
moisture at the seams, where the rows of underlayment are laid side by side. The overlap flap has a peel
and stick strip to aid the installation process.
1. Layout 1st row of underlayment (logo side down, blue side up) with the overlap flap facing the starting
wall. Allow the underlayment to wrap up the wall, on the ends, approx. 2.
2. Reach under and grab the overlap flap and pull it up so it lies against the starting wall. Trim this over
lap flap back to leave approx. 2 of plastic up the wall. (Use this cut off section to repair damage in the
underlayment as needed*, see note below).
3. Lay 2nd row of underlayment flush to first. Make sure the overlap flap is next to 1st row, and the ends
wrap up the walls. (If flooring installation has already begun, make sure to stop the floor ing approx. 8
inches from the side of the under-layment to allow for the installation of the overlap flap.)
4. Again, reach under and grab the overlap flap. Pull the flap up and fold it back to expose the peel and
stick strip. Remove the white protective cover from the adhesive strip. Lay overlap flap across the 1st row of
underlayment and press into place.
5. Continue this procedure row by row until the entire floor area is covered.
*Note: When connecting a new roll of underlayment to the end of the roll you are working on, or for
repairing any tears or cuts in the underlayment; overlay the butt joints or the damaged area with a spare
piece of overlap plastic. This spare piece should overlay by approx. 8. Hold the spare piece in place with
tape. Do NOT overlap underlayment. Overlap flap only.
Cover the entire floor area and run the underlayment up the perimeter walls approximately 2. This provides
a secure enclosure for the flooring. After the floor is installed and before the installation of the baseboards,
the excess underlayment should be trimmed to the height of the

Specialty adhesives (pressure sentitive) have been developed for adhering QuietStride Underlayment
directly to the subfloor for use in double-stick installations. The adhesive is a quick, inex-pensive technique
for affixing QuietStride Underlayment to the subfloor, then gluing the Khrs flooring to the QuietStride
Underlayment with one of the approved Khrs wood flooring adhesives.
Important: Khrs does not guarantee the performance of any non-Khrs branded
underlayment.

LAYOUT
Required Expansion
Purpose: To ensure proper expansion space around all walls, doors, and obstructions.
Required Expansion
Rules: 1) Khrs requires 1/16 of expansion space for every 3 of Connected Area width or 9 of
Connected Area length (whichever is greater). This expansion space must be left
around all walls, doors and obstructions. Minimum expansion requirement is 1/2.
2) No connected flooring can span greater than 40 in width or 120 in length.
Notes: 1) Connected area is defined as all areas connected without a break. If Room A and
Room B both are to have flooring installed and are directly connected, or connected
by a hallway, with-out a t-molding, the connected area is the width of both Room
A and Room B, and the hall way (if applicable). Obstructions can include cabinets,
islands, and the wall opposite the start-ing wall in the same room, if the flooring
continues to another room without a break. Multiple calculations may need to be
made to best determine the amount cut from the starting row.
2) The direction of the flooring must be determined prior to calculating the required
expansion space. The Connected Area width is parallel to the board width. The
Connected Area length is parallel to the board length.
* Determine the required expansion space for both width and length, then use the larger of the 2 on all
sides, and around all obstructions.

Maximum room dimensions for a Woodloc 5S floating floor are 40ft. across the boards or 120 ft.
lengthwise. Floors exceeding either of these dimensions require use of T-Molding.
A minimum of one butt seam is required in every row, regardless of width (e.g. hallways).
Never attach any permanent object through the flooring, affixing it to the subfloor. A float-in floor must
be free to expand and contract in all directions.
Kahrs Flooring is approved for installations in bathrooms only (no bathrooms including showers or
bath tubs)
IMPORTANT!
Do not open packages until ready to begin installation! Inspect boards as you go. Khrs
flooring is sealed at the factory with a 7% moisture content. Opening cartons to acclimate the
flooring (as with some solid strip flooring) could result in a difficult installation.
As an installer, it is your responsibility to be aware of the grade, Relative Humidity of the room, and
moisture content of the subfloor. You should check that each plank is free of damage or
manufacturing defects. Any unusable boards should be set aside for later replacement.
Step 1
Start in corner and lay first board with tongue
side toward walls (Fig 1). Proper expansion
space can be achieved by pull-ing floor
away from wall once first three rows have
been installed (reference Step 6). For proper
expansion refer to calculation worksheet.
WOODLOC 5S FLOAT-IN NSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 3
Hold second board against first board at approximately a 20 - 30 angle. If locking pin is not positioned
correctly board will not engage. Lay second board flat.
Step 4
Engage locking pin to secure second board. Note: There are three (3) methods for engaging locking pin:
1. Use Khrs Lock/Unlock tool to push locking pin into locked position as shown in Fig. 4.
2. Use standard size utility knife to engage pin as shown in Fig. 5. With knife blade in retracted
position, run knife along inside of groove to push locking pin into locked position.
3. Alternate Method: After installation of entire first row, boards in subsequent rows will engage
locking pins of previous row as they are installed. Refer to Fig. 6 on next page. Lay entire first
row and cut end board to correct length (allow for expansion gap).
WOODLOC 5S FLOAT-IN NSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 5
Install second row boards as shown in Fig. 6. If possible, start second row with left-over piece from last
board of first row. Hold board at approximately a 20 - 30 angle to board in front. Press forward to
engage joint and lay flat on floor. Continue until entire second row is installed. End joints must be
staggered by at least 20. Butt seam must be placed in each row regard less of width, e.g. hallways.
Step 6
When three rows have been laid, pull floor away from starting wall until there is proper amount of
expansion space. Place expansion shims between floor and wall to maintain this space, as shown in
Fig. 7., then continue installation as described.
Step 8
After sawing row to shape, engage and lock all end
joint locking pins and lift entire row and reinstall to
adjacent row (Fig. 10). Slide rows back into position
against wall. Place expansion shims between floor
and wall.
Step 9
If doorjamb (or similar) needs to be cut, use piece of board and piece of Combo Underlayment to obtain
correct height (Fig. 11). If new board needs to be tapped into place, be sure to protect edges with scrap
of wood before tapping with handblock.
If boards cannot be easily angled under door frame or similar, cut away locking edge as shown in Fig. 12.
Then apply Landobond adhesive and install board as shown in Fig. 13.
WOODLOC 5S FLOAT-IN NSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Disengaging Boards
Boards can be laid from all directions if necessary. Woodloc 5S dismantles easily (see Fig. 14). This
enables easier planning for difficult installation areas. To disengage locked boards, first detach entire
row and place on flat surface. Using Khrs Woodloc Handblock, tap on exposed groove or tongue until
boards unlock (Fig. 14).
After Installation
Clean floor using dry dust mop or damp (lightly misted or well rung out) mop or cloth. Regularly use
Khrs Wood Floor Cleaner for best results. Do not use oil soap or water-emulsion, self polishing waxes.
NEVER wet mop floor. Place Peel & Stick Floor Protectors on furniture legs to prevent damage. See Khrs
Floor Care Guide & Lifetime Guarantee for full details (available at www.kahrs.com). For prefinished
oiled floors, please refer to Natural Oiled Floors Maintenance and Rennovation Procedures at

FOLLOW UP
Recoating your Khrs Floor
Khrs floors can be renewed without removing the factory finish. As a floor ages, normal wear and tear will
cause a floor to lose its luster. This is natural - it happens to all wood floors. To renew the luster and extend
the wear layer of the Khrs floor, recoat with water based urethane coating.
Recoating should be done when necessary. Dont wait until the finish has worn down. Call your professional
flooring contractor for recommendations as soon as you see a wear pattern developing.

Meanwhile, Khrs Woodloc and Woodloc 5S joints produce tight, barely visible joints, which
is also an advantage in cleaning and maintenance. The elasticity of the Khrs surface
treatment is designed to follow the woods natural movements between summer and winter,
whether the boards are factory finished or oiled. All this means that a Khrs floor is easy to
maintain.
Stained products lose their original color when their surfaces are renovated. This should be
kept in mind when maintaining the floor. Materials used for maintenance are uncolored.
Particular consideration must also be given to products with a special finish.

The green building elements illustrated in the video are those that we have covered
throughout the course: Site selection (breaking ground), foundation, framing and roof,
doors and windows, exterior finishes, flooring, lighting, water and landscaping. All of
these were intricate parts of my design and design solution for my client. As part of the
design solution I included: solar panels, passive solar electric system, solar water
heater system, low voc interior and exterior paint, recyclable flooring materials, high
efficiency fixtures and lighting, OVE framing, insulated foundation, cross-ventilated
windows and low water requirement landscaping. These designs as a whole, greatly
impact the sustainability of the home from its foundation, to its roofing and renewable
energy sources and landscaping choices. Whether recyclable materials or renewable
energy or high efficiency fixtures, all features contribute to the homes overall
sustainability. Green buildings are crucial to our environment by preserving the earth
and its resources as well as reusing the materials from other structures. Reducing the
amount of waste material disposed of on the earth as well as creating other means of
structure design with little to no harm to environment. Helping keep our communities
cleaner through lower waste production, low energy use and being positive impacts on
the surrounding community, green buildings save a little bit of planet each day.
Justification
The design concept goals are clearly explained and met with the design solutions, as
well as the color solution and concepts; all of which meet the clients desires and fit the
sustainable design solution. This structure is built in a newer more economically aware
area, where transportation and community resources are within close proximity, further
building on green living and properly utilizing resources. All design choices are chosen
to be sustainable materials, again meeting the criteria of the client and following the
sustainable design standard. Construction finishes, FF&E as well as lighting selections
were chosen based off their ability to be sustainable, renewable or recyclable materials .
By addressing the equipment maintenance and installation guidelines we were able to
further educate the client on proper care and install of equipment, flooring or materials.
Each system is made to be energy conserving, renewing, or storing to power the home
through solar energy. These features make the home extremely energy efficient and
cost effective, which is a requirement of the client that the design solution was able to
successfully meet. Not all items needed to be addressed throughout the process and
with the structures location and features, some items were did not need to be
addressed.
