Project Description
We are constructing an affordable house in Indianapolis for Joy and Max
Lis family which includes two young kids, ages 5 and 8. Joy is a nurse and Max
Li is a math teacher. The house is filled with modern furniture and has 3
bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a garden, 2 floors and a garage. This house follows
Habitat for Humanity guidelines which includes having the Board of Directors
approve of the house size, at least 2 windows in the kitchen made with the
specified material, a full bathroom, exterior doors, a linen closet, a heat pump,
a water heater, a washer and dryer hookup and hose bibs. The house also
meets applicable code considerations which includes bathroom and habitable
room glazing, minimum room areas and dimensions, bathroom clearances,
emergency escape in sleeping rooms, egress door size, and stairway and
landing requirements. Universal design features will be utilized in our house
design so it can be used by residents throughout their life. These features
include an accessible entrance and bath, an open kitchen, and wide door and
passage widths throughout the house so that people in wheelchairs can go
throughout the house. Our application of green and sustainable features will
allow our house design to obtain LEED points.

Green Building Design

By focusing on water efficiency, we can gain LEED points by collecting water
from the roof, reduce using water for irrigation, and low flush toilets. This will
promote transformation of the mainstream homebuilding industry toward
more sustainable practices because a house that meet the LEED requirements
showcase multiple ways to conserve energy and it will gain attraction from
others who want to conserve.
We also gain LEED points by:
Building a house that is not on environmentally sensitive sites
Using drought-tolerant turf and not using turf in densely shaded
areas and in areas with a slope of 25%
Using sustainable and simple materials
The glazing area on the north and south facing walls of the
building is at least 50% greater than the sum of the glazing area on the
east and west facing walls.
The east-west axis of the building is within 15 degrees of due eastwest and the roof has a minimum of 450 square feet of south-facing
area that is oriented appropriately for solar applications.
At least 90% of the glazing on the south facing wall is completely
shaded at noon on June 21 and unshaded at noon on December 21.
Some ways that we can obtain LEED credits concerning water
efficiency is by using water systems that save water. Also 23 can make
the faucets stop running as soon as the person is done using the water.
Though this technology might be costly it will save a lot of water.
Another way of saving water could be finding ways to filter water from a
natural source ( like from around the area). We can also include a
rainwater harvesting system, a high efficiency irrigation system, and/or
they could reduce overall irrigation demand by at least 45%.
Building components or systems that can be enhanced to
contribute to LEED credits that promote energy efficiency by using light

systems or light bulbs that are environmental friendly and last longer
and are much more efficient. Also finding ways of using the environment
around the home to make energy. For example, like if the area is really
sunny all the time, maybe we can use solar panels or we can use wind or
water to produce energy if the region is windy and has a river.
In kitchens and bathrooms, use water-resistant flooring without
installed carpet.
Control the use of the local exhaust fan by using an occupancy
sensor, an automatic humidistat controller, and an automatic timer to
operate the fan for a timed interval after an occupant leaves the room.

Building Codes
ELECTRICAL CODES
The service disconnecting means shall be installed at a readily accessible
location either outside a building or structure or inside nearest the point of
