Foundation Design
• Type: Full basement, conditioned• Material: Concrete with steel reinforcements
(if necessary), still evaluating• Dimensions: 50ft wide x 26ft long Rectangle • Max depth (relative to ground surface)= 7 ft
– (at front of house)
• Wall thickness= 10 in.

Foundation Design
• Footing:– Width= 16 inches– Location= 1 foot below frost line– Frost line= 10 inches
• Radon Mitigation– Action Level: 4 pCi/L– Avg radon level for Arlington County=3.4 pCi/L– Methods: Spray, Air ventilation system, soil
depressurization

Truss Design
Truss Type: Room-in-attic truss Beam Size: 2”x6” or 2”x4”, still calculating Number needed: 26 trusses total for 50' of
length, spacing of 2' between trusses. Pro/E model Calculations are done using Ansys

Fluids System Analysis
Matthew Switzer
![Page 11: Preliminary Design Presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/5681372c550346895d9eb900/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Basic Storage & Pump Needs
• Water Storage Needs• Approx. 1 gal per 1ft2 FPC
• Estimated FPC area• 300-400 ft2
• Pump TBD by FPC needs• Most likely a centrifugal pump• Flow rate• Feet of head required
![Page 12: Preliminary Design Presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/5681372c550346895d9eb900/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Copper vs PVC
• Copper • Long term durability• Increased resale value• Less bulky• Corrosion• Long Warranties• Costly
~http://www.builderswebsource.com/techbriefs/cpvccopper.htm
• PVC• Approved for almost all
building codes• Resists
corrosion/abrasion• Cost effective• Easy installation• 100 psi rated @ 180oF• Self-insulating• Diameter limitations
(1.5”-2” max)• “Plastic” water taste• Easily Damaged
![Page 13: Preliminary Design Presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/5681372c550346895d9eb900/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Exchanger Types
• Flow Types• Cross Flow• Counter Flow
– Most Efficient
• Parallel Flow• Multi-pass Exchangers
– Combination of flows
• Shell and Tube Exchangers• Separate “circuits” of water flow• Number of passes• Size depends on economics and maintenance needs• High pressure & high temperature

This is data typical of a moderate to colder climate, so the required R-values of the insulation used will be fairly high.
