If a similarfield application was going to be attempted for a utility scale solar farm, some type of moreelegant sprayer would be necessary to prevent clogging (such as one with an ultrasonic vibratinghead).Weather was also a major variable for field applications of the coating. On two sequential dayswe had to cancel plans to coat the panels due to rain. On the day that we were finally able toproceed, we began the day with a nice calm sunny morning. However, after applying the firstcoat and beginning the second, a pressure front began to move into the area and winds picked up.We eventually had to cease application

Knowing how to solder electrical components could be a worthwhile skill for constructingsome of the projects. With this in mind, a laboratory session is planned for the students about thebasics of soldering, as well as the basics of electronic devices. This aids their attaining a morepractical perspective of the theoretical concepts that they have heard. For the practice session,each of the students and teachers is given a soldering kit containing instructions and materials tobuild a basic 555 timer circuit.

The plan is to limit each NZEH design to a fixed construction cost budget, and then tohave students do tradeoff analysis considering insulation levels, number and types of windows,type of heating/cooling system, solar water heating, and perhaps most importantly, overall size ofthe house. Construction cost data was developed from RSMeans along with consultations withcontractors and equipment suppliers. By constraining the project to be NZEH, the efficiencylevels that are economically justified are measurably higher than a more typical house designwhere current electricity prices are the basis for energy tradeoffs. Another way of saying this isthat putting in more insulation in the wall, for example, and reducing the electricity needed
