Design ProjectA half-semester long project has been developed at a major large public university to introducestudents to engineering design. The project focuses on the design of a net zero energy home(NZEH) by four-person teams, and was reported on at the 2012 ASEE meeting in San Antonio.This past summer, a significant effort was undertaken to include cost and engineering economicsinto the design. This paper begins by summarizing that earlier paper, then describes thedevelopment of the cost data and economic analysis. This is followed by some parametric studiesperformed by the authors, and insights into the most viable design features from an economicstandpoint. The last section reports on experiences using the enhanced project in class in
