Hot Homes -- Cool Solutions
CSEF · 2005 Physics & Astronomy
Overview
Objectives/Goals My objective is to determine if designing a different roof system helps with regular ventilation. Methods/Materials *Bolsa Wood *Hot Glue Gun *Hobby Knife *Nails *30 Glue Sticks *2 Candles *Sand Paper *1 Electric Fan *Battery *4 Brass Hinges *Plexy Glass *Textured Paint Results My results was that the experimental house with the exhaust fan was cooler than the control house with the regular ventilation. Conclusions/Discussion By redesigning a house with an exhaust fan, the temperature cooled down faster. The pressure of the fan gave enough energy to send the hot air out faster.
Summary statement
My project is about comparing the results of temperature of regular ventilation versus an installed exhaust fan in a roof
Help received
Uncle helped build house, board, and complete papers;Mother helped with paper work: Father helped with installing fan:Janelle helped with board and materials.
