Passive solar design: use of sun's energy for the heating and cooling of living spaces more sustainable than active solar design does not rely on mechanical devices cheaper because it relies on natural energy, cannot break elongated on east-west axis open floor plan thermal mass: ability of a building to store heat carpets, drapes, and fabric covered furniture absorb moisture from humid air (causes air conditioner to work harder to remove humidity) (should be kept on northern side of house) water containers can be incorporated to store heat rooms less used should be on the northern side, because the souther rooms receive the most sunlight and warmth oriented to receive maximum amount of sunlight helps heat house during winter can be protected with foliage or overhangs during the summer // attic fans // windows that can release heat good insulation and operable windows (triple paned is most effective) 3 types: direct gain south facing glass admits solar energy into the house, where it strikes directly and indirectly thermal mass materials into the house (utilizes 60-75% of suns energy striking the windows) indirect gain thermal mass absorbs the sunlight that strikes it and transfers it to living space by conduction (30-45% of sun's energy) requires operable cents at the top and bottom of the thermal wall isolated gain (15-30%) by way of sun room that shares it's collected heat www.eslarp.uiuc.edu RESULTS
no raw data with the exception of illustrations or experiments in which only one thing is measured (raw data can be made available on and through other different sources) no bias in the analysis, not persuasive start with null hypothesis testing include all results even if they don't support the hypothesis assume reader understands basic statistics i.e do not explain how results were gotten, just state the results describe missing data explain the outcomes of the data analysis provide a control for reference description of participants (flow throughout the experiment) ABSTRACT concise summary 150-250 words 3rd Person explain: problem, participants, results, implications REFERENCES hanging indent double spaced CSE ( for journals ) uses numbers to cite some journals consider direct quotes to be plagiarism INTRODUCTION background research should state the purpose, hypothesis, and null hypothesis should contain real world applications hook define terms and acronyms concise (not necessarily short) typically doesn't have a heading avoid bias METHODS procedure materials used should come after introduction professional language explain analysis of data describe sample size and how it was selected sub-headings that describe different parts of the procedure use specific details like brand names and specific details on data collection describe demographics of the subjects DISCUSSION refer back to hypothesis and null hypothesis, evaluation in opening statement provide explanations of the data possible further experimentation explain broad impact of experiment explain limitations and errors bias evaluation address similarities and differences between your research and other's research concise ( do not restate information ) no new evidence in discussion |
