Show moreThe IPRO 347 team intends to seize the opportunity given by Robbins Community Power (RCP) to improve the efficiency of the power plant. RCP plans to convert the facility from its original role as an incinerator into a wood biomass electricity plant. Working with RCP, the team will look at thermodynamic values to determine how to best utilize the excess heat generated from the boiler that currently radiates out the cooling towers. Additionally, the team will research and discuss possible solutions to be implemented on the 22 acre site. The intricacies that arise from the nontraditional nature of our plan require we split into two groups. One sub-team will look into exactly where the waste heat exists and the values of viable energy available in the form of steam or hot water. This team will seek interdisciplinary advice as part of the energy analysis. The second, but most influential, sub-team will predominantly be researching feasible outlets for the recovered energy. Some solutions they will pursue include supplying nearby greenhouses with CO2, providing on-site and local heat, and increasing the efficiency of the plant through drying processes. IPRO 347-Summer 2010 Project

Show moreIPRO 339 is focused on providing an affordable housing option for the working poor in Juarez, Mexico. This semester we will research the technologies involved in reusing shipping containers for this housing. We will design a prototype housing unit which will relate to other units in an overall community, with services such as commerce, open spaces for activity, and community centers to support them. We wish to design a housing community that embodies the ideals of humanity, affordability, functionality, opportunity, sustainability, durability, safety, culture, and neighborhood. In order to do this, our team for the Spring Semester has set forth the following objectives: • Research and understand the users of our product by looking at the social, economic, and physical factors in Juarez, Mexico and in the Maquiladoras where they work. • Research the most cost efficient and sustainable ways of incorporating plumbing, HVAC, and electricity into the homes. • Research the structural aspects of building this community. • Develop a potential site plan and floor plans and sections for the housing units. • Using our research and designs, develop a proposal for our sponsor, considering the client at hand.
