Today, you are going to calculate the number of solar panels that will be needed on the roof of our Tiny House. Please use this document if you were not in class. This worksheet is provided in class, but the links are only active on the electronic version (obviously). This assignment should be completed in class tomorrow (or will become HW). Use this link to find average daylight hours in Colorado.
In case you missed it, here is a link to a great documentary about building and living in a "Tiny House"

Please complete the solar panel activity that we started yesterday. The goal for this activity is as follows:
- Understand the difference between a watt and a watt-hour.
- Know how to convert from watt-hour to kilowatt-hour.
- Calculate the electrical generation potential of a solar panel.
- Estimate the electrical needs of our "Tiny-House".
- Estimate the number of solar panels needed to meet those needs.
You should be able to answer the above questions after completing this activity.
Wednesday October 15th
We have a re-design of the Tiny House roof design. We are going to do a flat pitched roof. Check out the Tumbleweed Tiny House website.
We will review the 5 questions above. Here is a presentation that reviews these concepts if you were absent.

Please use the floor plans linked above (on the Tumbleweed site) and redesign the basic floor plan (portfolio drawing #3) to layout the following rooms: bedroom, bathroom, kitchen/dining room & living space. Be sure to use your scale and layout the rooms based on realistic uses and measurements.
