Revision as of 05:40, 21 February 2019
Background
The purpose of our team is to design and apply our solutions for the renovation of the yurt roof which is located at CCAT, Campus Center for Appropriate Technology, on Humboldt State University campus. For more information about CCAT:CCAT’s webpage
Team Members: Students enrolled in the Spring 2019 Engineering Appropriate Technology Class 305.
The yurt is a permanent structure at CCAT open to community and students, and it houses several features for comfort and education of appropriate technology. Our goal is to design and build the yurt roof in eco-harmony with the least amount of impact on the environment including the community and Mother Earth. Generations of students and community will be welcomed to use and enhance the space.
Problem statement
We will come together to successfully design, build and test an appropriate technology solution that will have a lasting impact within our local and broader communities. Our goal is to not only to build a functioning roof, but also to educate other students and to better ourselves in the process. Also, we will learn how to budget for such a project, consider what kind of future maintenance the roof may need, and determine what is aesthetically appropriate for the location.
From the Team Members
We are looking forward to this project, and recommend others in our community to stop by CCAT. If you are not in our area we look forward to your insights and stories. Thank you.

Literature Review
This is a review of the available literature pertinent to the a specific project.
Lighting
Large windows bring risks of glare problems, poor distribution of brightness, or excessive heat or heat loss. An answer to good lighting is looking at the broader context of design. Lighting design has a lot to do with perception of light: functional, aesthetic, emotional and somatic. The role of lighting goes beyond illumination and should consider its other functions. Windows should meet the demands of brightness for working, a sense of security, and orientation. Good useful lighting does not only make things visible, it also directs gaze, controls perception, and draws attention to details. The planning of natural light is primarily dependent on the availability of natural light. This availability is determined by natural conditions such as climate zone and the surroundings of the building and can be influenced by orientation, the form of the building, and the dimensions of the interior and exterior space. As a general rule of thumb for design, consider the context and additional factors before making decisions on lighting design. [1]
The quantity and distribution of natural light inside buildings is directly related to their design (distribution, orientation and dimension of openings). They are conditioned by the site characteristics, the construction density aspects, height of buildings, dimensions and proportions of exterior spaces, direct sunning and sun reflection on exterior surfaces, as well as by the presence of trees, billboards and other components of surrounding scenery.Aiming at sustainable urban design is the most adequate way to achieve the desired goal and its consideration must be a priority in every situation.
