Project Plan IPRO 328

Solar thermal Technologies for Large Scale Buildings

Research Methodology
The past IPRO 328 groups have been focused on discovering which of the two collectors has the greatest potential for use in Chicago. Using gathered data of the groups the choice of the type collector to be used should be achievable in the first week. With this determined the focus will be on implementation of the solar collectors around Keating facility. The study will consist of:

· The mechanical system needed to incorporate with the solar collectors for proper use.

· The proper placement and attachment of the solar collectors to the site.

· The development of system to reduce the loss of energy gained.

· The analysis of gathered data to show potential energy saving and financial plans to show benefits of implementation.

Each of these aspects will be focused on by separate team that will work in tandem to achieve the project objective. The research will be handled by individuals who will submit what they have found to there individual group and then to the group as a whole once found pertinent by their group. There also will be information sessions for the whole group with specialists who will be able to help with there experience and knowledge of a specific field pertaining to the project.
