Indiv. Activity Report - Week 15

This week our group focused our attention on collaborating all of our gathered information and obtained knowledge, and creating a unified white paper. We used time toward the beginning of the week to coordinate the design of our white paper, and settle upon a mutually acceptable format, based on our thumbnails we each created. The group eventually decided to base this format off of my thumbnail. In this way, the white paper would feature a two-column style, to take proper use of white space, and incorporate a balance of illustrations and color distribution. Editing of headers and subheaders was kept to a relative minimum, with only simple alterations in font size and color (either standard black or blue). In deciding upon this format, we insured that we'd each be working in a similar style, to ensure a smooth flow for the eventual audience.

I then focused my attention on writing my division, or "specialty", of the white paper, which incorporated the advantages and disadvantages of the horizontal closed-loop geothermal system. In doing this, I conducted additional research that would help allow me to distinguish the horizontal system from the others, most notably the vertical system. I ended up creating about two full, double-columned pages of such information, which I felt would benefit the contractor in making his/her decision.

This is more of a group than an individual activity report. Remember to focus mostly on the work you have done individually.
