Hypothetical Home 

A single-family, detached home has the following characteristics: 

Dimensions (40’x20’10’, as shown in the figure above)

• 6 single-glazed, wood-framed glass windows that are each 2′ x 4′
• The walls, ceiling and door have an R value of 4 (ft2 °F hr)/Btu
• The ceiling has an additional 1-inch polystyrene insulation layer
• The temperature in the home is maintained at 68°F by a natural gas-fueled heater, which runs at
• 80% efficiency

For the problems in this assignment, we’ll work with the following assumptions:

There is no heat loss through the floor/foundation to the ground

• The house is well-sealed and there are no leaks
• The temperature outdoors is a constant 10°F
• Heating costs 

1. If natural gas costs $16.28 per thousand cubic feet, how much would it cost to heat this home over your hypothetical month? 

Weatherization 

2. How much heat would be lost through the windows, ceiling and walls if the home described above was retrofit so that: 

The walls and ceiling now have an R value of 19 (the original 1-inch polystyrene insulationlayer on the ceiling was replaced so the total value for both the walls and ceiling is now 19).

• The windows are replaced with argon-filled, triple-glazed windows with low E coating
• (see Table 4.2 on Page 2 of this assignment).

3. How much natural gas (in cubic feet) would be needed to heat the now-weatherized home

for a month?

4. With a natural gas cost of $16.28 per thousand cubic feet, what would be the cost to heat

the weatherized home for a month?

Heat Pumps

5. Assume that the natural gas heater in the hypothetical home is replaced by an air-source

heat pump with 300% efficiency. With 300% efficiency, the heat pump puts out 3 times as

much heat as it uses in electricity. Using the conversion factor of 3412.14 Btu = 1kwh, How

many kWh of electricity would be needed to heat the unweatherized home (described on

Page 1) over the same month? How much would this cost if electricity is $0.23 per kwh?

6. How many kWh of electricity would be needed to heat the retrofitted, weatherized home

(described in Question 2) over the same month? How much would this cost if electricity is

$0.23 per kwh?

Module 7 Assignment – Due

Objective: Analyze the relationship between water conflicts and the prevalence of drought in the Middle East and Africa using the Water Conflict Map and supplemental research.

Instructions:

Exploring Water Conflicts and Drought

Navigate to the Water Conflict Map.

If you’re struggling to use the map, use the help function.

Focus on the Middle East and Africa regions.

Activate the “Highlight Areas Experiencing Drought” filter (shown below). If this isn’t showing anything, go to “Add Datasets” and activate “24-month SPI Anomaly (Long-term)” under Water. It will provide you the drought and flooding information. This will enable you to answer the following.

1. Question: What patterns or correlations do you observe, especially regarding how conflict relates to drought? Describe your observations in a paragraph of at least four sentences.

• Identifying Trends and Further Research

Examine the incidence of water conflicts within the regions since the year 2000 here.

• Independently, conduct research to understand the prevalence of drought and its locations in the Middle East and Africa since 2000.

Question: How do the trends in drought and lack of water access correlate with the rise in water conflicts over the years? Write a four-sentence paragraph detailing your findings. Ensure that you provide evidence for your claims using in-text citations and list your sources at the end in APA format.

• Submission Guidelines:
• Your assignment should be typed using a readable font, size 12. Submit your assignment as a PDF. Do not upload your written portion in the text box. Points will be taken.
• Make sure to back up your observations and analyses with specific data and findings from the Water Conflict Map and your independent research.

Remember to correctly use in-text citations when referencing external sources, and provide a reference list in APA format at the end of your assignment.

Slide 1: Name of cancer. Your name, name of course, date, instructor’s name

Slide 2: QUESTION of the cancer. What happens to the cells? What part of the body does it generally affect?
Slide 3: QUESTION of the symptoms.
Slide 4: Possible causes of the cancer. Are there environmental or health factors that can cause the cancer? If so, explain.
Can the cancer be inherited? If so, explain.
Slide 5: Prevention-What can be done to prevent getting this cancer?
Slide 6: Discuss how the cancer is treated? Medications? Surgery? Chemotherapy? Radiation? Nutrition? Lifestyle
choices?
Slide 7: Discuss how the cancer is diagnosed? What tests are done? Are scans done with MRI, CAT scan, PET scan, X-
ray, or ultrasound machines?
Slide 8: Statistics-How many and what type of people are likely to have this type of cancer? Is it more common in a
certain group of people? If so, what group of people and why? How common is it? Survival rate? Death rate?
Slide 9: Application of Research -What new information did you learn from your research? How do you plan to use this
new information?
