DAILY WORK LOG 2/5/2009

Your Name: Alex Riolo

Partner’s Name(s): Gunner, Michio

Day & Date: Thursday, February 05, 2009

1. Briefly describe what you PERSONALLY accomplished today:

Today I accomplished:
-Learned how to use Google sketchup to model HTH, and how it can be used to show the angle of the sun and can help calculate solar panel efficiency, we were able to complete a pretty accurate model, and learned the contrary to popular belief, the angled roof may actually inhibit the use of solar panels.
-E-mailed Chris Gerber about the HTH info and asked for his help

2. Briefly describe what your TEAMMATE(S) accomplished today:

-Modeled HTH as noted above
-Researched notch filters, and made draft 1 design of our potential interactive component

3. Briefly describe how you and your partner(s) ASSISTED each other today:
EX: How did you learn from each other, teach each other, or help each other?

Today we accomplished a lot, though on paper it looks like we got nothing done, in actuality, we were very productive. I feel that through modeling HTH we were able to learn a lot about how the sun falls and casts shadows on the building. Hopefully we will be able to get more precise measurements from Chris in order to model it better.
