=﻿KITCHEN ASSESSMENT ﻿ = For my kitchen assessment, I chose the peninsula style kitchen, It was a relatively easy kitchen to build, most of my troubles came with making the cabinets line up. As you can see in the picture above, I have my "Work Triangle", which is the area between your stove, refrigerator, and sink. I also have the distance from my refrigerator to my counter top. The red line you see going from door to door is the traffic path, as you can see, chairs and seating and cooking do not effect the traffic coming in and out of the kitchen. My guidelines for building this kitchen and this whole house, actually, was that it needed to be handicap accessible, My kitchen is handicap accessible. Interior Views of my kitchen.

BATHROOM ASSESSMENT

For my bathroom, I left a lot of things out before I got done my packet about the guidlines. Adding everything was easy though, I added handrails in the shower, a "slip-free floor" a mirror over my sink, cabinets for storage, several outlets where important items are going to be used. I added several ceiling fans, and several ceiling vents. I had to stain my windows, although we couldn't find glass stain in the program (which is why my windows are just grey, Baileys Idea haha). The easiest thing for me was adding the major items, such as the toilet, sink, shower and hot-tub. The hardest thing was making my bathroom match with all the guidelines in the handbook. it was a process! I like the shape of my bathroom, it makes it unique, however it made a little bit challenging when it came to placing items in the room. my bathroom is also handicap accessible.

GREEN BUILDING PROJECT

I built this House based of the LEED Standards. Most everything in my house Is green or helps the enviroment in a green way.

For this write up, I'm going to show you and talk about how I made all these objects meet the LEED standards. In the bathroom, under "Water Efficiency" I installed Water reducing toilets, which use less water in the flushing process, as you can see in figure 1. I also Installed Aerated sinks, an aeroator is a device that makes it do that less water come out the fosset, but you get the same effect as a free flow. you can see this in figure 2. For Sustainable Sites, I have a special roof that water runs off of, where is can safely be obsorbed by the ground, rather than running into a stream as you can see in figure 3. For the Meterials and resources, I used a special type of brick that is good for unsulating, looks good and is made from all natural and recycled meterials. See figure 4. For energy and atmosphere, I installed a high efficiency washer and dryer, as you can see in figure 5. For Indoor Enviromental quality, I installed air vents in my bathroom, as you can see in figure 6.
