Technology and Engineering
WHAT IS MULTIPURPOSE
BUILDING?
It is a building with spaces where people live,
work, and have fun.
MAKE YOUR BUILDING ENERGY
EFFICIENT!
Ideas to think about
Shape
Colors
Size and Number of Windows
Location of Windows
Shade
Thermal Reservoir
Solar Power
SHAPE:
What shape your building would be?
Rectangular prism, cylinder, sphere, or
combination of multiple shapes?
How does that help your building be more energy
efficient?
COLOR:
What color(s) do you use for your building?
Why did you choose the color(s)?
How does that help your building be more energy
efficient?
SIZE, SHAPE, LOCATION AND
NUMBER OF WINDOWS:
How big the windows would be?
How many windows or what percent of your
building would be windows? Why?
What direction (North, South, East, West, North
East, etc.) do you put more windows?
How does that help your building be more energy
efficient?
SHADE
Roof overhangs or tree can be designed to admit
more sunlight in winter and less in summer.
How does that help your building be more energy
efficient?
THERMAL RESERVOIR
Sometimes the floor or an internal wall of a
house is built from stone or concrete or some
similar material.
These absorb and store heat during the day, then
gradually release it at night, so the heater needs
to do less work
ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
Solar cells, windmills, biomass, hydro, geotermal,
bloom box, etc.
PARK ON TOP
To save energy and to get clean water
CRITERIA FOR SUCCESS
Define the problem
Create scale drawings
Design structure
Energy Efficient
Communicate Clearly
DEFINE THE PROBLEM
Think about Lawrence. How can you make this
community safer, healthier, and better place to
live?
What types of service or products you think
people in your community need in this
community?
DEFINE THE PROBLEM
Problem clearly defined with list of criteria and
constraints.
Detailed list of research information, websites,
pictures and descriptions of example buildings.
Each of you must have different building idea.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Write a problem statement, which is a short
description of the functions of the building that
you think are needed.
For example,
“My teammates and I will design a building that ...”
Each team come up with a problem statement.
CRITERIA AND CONSTRAINTS
Criteria
4story building, 1 underground floor
Residential and business spaces
100ft by 100ft land
Add more!
Constraints
Building codes
Zoning laws
DEVELOP POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Based on the problem statement, criteria and
constraints, each of you draw sketch of a
building.
List some ideas about
What type(s) of business you invite to your building.
What type(s) of rooms you have in your building (for
singles, couples, or families)
Explain why they are beneficial for your community.
CHOOSE THE BEST SOLUTION
Each of you take turns sharing the sketches and
ideas.
Look for ways to incorporate the best ideas.
Or use a Pugh chart if necessary
CREATE SCALE DRAWINGS
Create floor plans and elevations.
Each member is in charge of at least two plans.
Use 1:144 (1 square on the paper means 1 square
yards, which is equal to 9 square feet).
Each plan must have
Building element labeled
Title block
Every segment must be drawn with a ruler.
DRAWINGS SHOULD HAVE
Floor plans for
Basement
1st to 4th floor
Rooftop
Elevation Views for
North, East, South and West view.
Each student must be in charge of
At least 1 floor plan AND 1 elevation view.
FLOOR PLANS
FLOOR PLANS
DESIGN STRUCTURE
Write one or two paragraphs to describe that
your team chooses the color, shape, and size of
the building.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Describe several energy efficient features and
illustrates how thermal energy flows through the
building
WHAT STREET WOULD YOU BUILD
AND WHY?
Pick a street in Lawrence to construct your
building?
Why did you pick a street?
How do the building affect people and the
community?
COMMUNICATE CLEARLY
Place all items on a trifoldpresentation board.
Drawings and model provide clear descript8ion of
building design.
Writing is clear and wellorganized.
