This includes decreasing overalllength, routing close to support points, choosing prime locations for major components, andlocating system runs to facilitate the construction needs of their own trade.During coordination meetings, the participating student work groups compare preliminary routingfor their systems to identify and resolve conflicts. They also decide which trade(s) will revise theirdesign and submit requests for information (RFI) regarding problems that require an engineeringresolution.

daily wind speed was measured to be 5-6m/s,peaking from 9 a.m.-6 p.m8. The challenge was not only to design the most efficient wind energysystem but one that had enough storage capacity to maintain the house during peak energyconsumption hours when no wind was available.After obtaining all the necessary data HOMER, general-purpose hybrid system sizing andsimulation software, was used to identify the best system to supply electricity to the home basedon hourly performance simulations8. It was determined a 10 kW Jacob 23-10 wind turbine wasthe most efficient renewable wind energy system for the house. According to HOMER, a Jacob23-10 wind turbine would be able to support the energy needs of the home, and depending on theavailable wind energy, it
