Week 8: Final testing and Analysis

During this week we will finish our final tests on the different kinds of insulation. With the results that we received from the test we now will have the  thermal resistivity of each each insulation. Although one insulation may have shown to have a better thermal resistivity it may not be economically plausible. We have found through the economic analysis that the price to install any of the insulation will require a bank loan. What we plan to accomplish by the end of the week, or beginning of the following week, is if we can save money through one of the particular insulation.
We have calculated the amount of electricity that a building similar to ours would regenerate in a years time. We have also focused that electricity to find how much of it is put into heating and cooling. We then found the cost to heat and cool a building in the Philadelphia region for an entire year. We plan on using this data to find if it is plausible to install one of our insulations. 
Also, this week we plan on having a risk analysis completed. To show what risks may come up when installing the material or future risks.
