Roof+Types



Project CharterRoof Types

Description
> durability of the houses > the health of the occupants > the Sustainability of the houses > the low cost of each house > Because of this, it is imperative for Habitat for Humanity and its partners to constantly be reevaluating the design of each of their houses to help maintain these four goals. > Therefore I will be reevaluating their choose of roofing by comparing the leading roofing types so as to find the most cost effective type.
 * Habitat for Humanity has the goal of providing four different aspects with each house they build which include:

Objectives

 * Determine the most energy and cost efficient roofing style
 * We shall address issues such as, but not limited to:
 * cost per square foot
 * time before the roof will need to be replaced
 * how each type will effect the heating and cooling of the house

Outcomes or Deliverables

 * A detailed analysis of the different types of roofing including the pros and cons of each and a suggested roofing type to use.

Critical Dates

 * Project launch: tentatively after floor plans are completed
 * Final report: ?
 * Final presentation: ?

Estimated Budget

 * $0

Community Partners

 * Habitat for Humanity

Stakeholders

 * Harding University
 * Rich Wells
 * Lance Gibson

 * **Period Covered by the Report:** |||||| ?->11/29/11 ||
 * **Accomplished This Period:** ||
 * * Discovered Cool Roofs
 * Learned about key components of Cool Roof
 * -Solar reflectance
 * -Thermal emittance

 * * Expected savings with higher SR, TE, and SRI
 * **Risks/Outstanding Issues/Problems:** ||
 * * Time
 * Roof pitch ||

Also of note: the "Library" is ready to use! however, I am open to suggestions on making it better.
