This week we continued testing (testing takes a while with our project due to each test taking multiple hours). We started testing the cellulose and did more tests on the polystyrene and fiberglass insulation. We also started to wait for about an hour before turning off the heat source, light bulb, so that the temperature of the box would be stabilized. Then we began our testing so that our data would be more accurate and would not have a curve at the beginning.
We were able to use the results we had gotten to figure out the thermal resistivity of each insulation measured in m2/W as well as the costs of each insulation for a building of six floors with 14,000 sqrft/floor. We figured out the cost efficiency of each insulation from the information we had gotten. We also did some risk analysis of the whole project as well as the risk analysis of each component of the project.
A couple of graphs we had:
