Final Project Plan

After our group met on both the 31th of January and the 7th of February we are now ready with the project plan. The project plan contains a lot of information of both the project as a whole as well as detailed information on deadlines etc. I will discuss the most important points of the project plan.

First of all could be mentioned that we have agreed on going on a field trip to the site between 6-11.4. All group members are coming except Susanna who unfortunately is on another trip at that moment. We will now be looking into flight tickets at those dates. Other relevant dates are some deadlines about our project.We have decided that the initial research should be ready 29.2. This means that everyone should be able to present some results that they have come up with. The final deadline for the research is 31.3, this means that we should already have some concepts and options about the energy solution for Rock Village. This includes cost analysis and dimensioning of the alternative methods.

We have decided to give everyone some areas of responsibility. This doesn´t mean that everyone will be working alone with their own projects but this way it will be easier to proceed with the project. Axel will be looking into solar energy solutions, Panu into the option of using biomass as energy source and Susanna will go deeper into the wind energy possibilities. Hossam will be responsible for finding sustainable building materials and Susa will be in charge of investigating the socio-economic opportunities in Lebanon. Susa will also be responsible for the communication.

Our group will now continue on the research and hopefully will we come up with some sustainable energy solutions for Rock Village!
