It is above par in thermaland acoustic insulation, fire and water resistance, and mechanical strength than the gypsumboards used today. Strength, water resistance, and other factors are dependent on the ratio ofthe components and the production process.Methodology This project investigated the cost of building a house made with as many recycled andrenewable materials as possible. A 3D model of the house was constructed using Revit andCreo Parametric. A building material cost report has been created as an estimate to compareto the pricing of building a residential home through standard commercial methods. Thishelped

Utilization was something that I believed this video really highlighted as it was clear which parts of the assembly line had more activity by even just watching how frequently the mechanical arms would transport items at each individual machine.” “The videos were good simulations of an assembly line. In the first video, I enjoyed that the narrator used boxes to define some of the terminology we used in class, and she broke down the production process step by step. It was helpful that she showed what was going on inside each “workstation”, along with how many of which material were needed and how long to build. I also liked that there were visual aids (BOM and flow
