Last Thursday I had a 2 hour meeting with my project adviser, Dr. Fanatico. We discussed the direction in which my paper should probably go, the specific details about setting up the SHH1 at the S.D. Farm, the parameters of the experiment and getting the experiment started.
     She stressed that instead of getting bogged down with the study of artificial lighting for chickens that I concentrate more on the overall design of the SHH1 and its importance to small-scale sustainable farming. We agreed that I should highlight all of the Appropriate Technology that is incorporated into the design. This includes Structurally Integrated Panels (SIP)'s, Clerestory Windows, Solar Thermal Heater, and Solar Powered Active Ventilation and LED lighting.
     Here are some photos of the progress I've made since Thursday:
