Our class went to a lecture by a professor and architect named Michael Hughes. I really enjoyed his presentation, although it was rather long. The projects he showed were easily related to ideas we have for our habitat house. He had a lot of great strategies for energy conservation and use of reclaimed materials. He even used shreded blue jeans as insulation, which was something I spoke about at one of our first group meetings.
After the lecture our class all met in Hale Hall to discuss and share our most recent research. Everything seems to be coming along well, but we are obviously pressed for time. One of the things I noticed when researching is low income families spend 50 -60% of their income on utilities; so it is vital that we do everything possible to reduce water, gas, and electricity bills.
