Design Review National Database (NDB) Headquarters (HQ) Tutorials PURDUE UNIVERSITY

National Database Team Philip Chennikkara Albert Hidalgo John Horst Drew May PURDUE UNIVERSITY Rev. 01 Fall 2003

Problem Statement • Problems for HFHI • Surveys are given to homeowners only in certain areas to local or state affiliates. • There is no concrete way, currently, to show the benefits of the Habitat program to the community, both locally and nationally. • Homeowner information and responses must be securely collected, transferred, and analyzed to be in line with Habitat’s organizational mission. PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Methodology • Proposed Solution • Having a centralized secure server database for survey information and homeowner responses • Homeowner ID’s will be requested from the server but will be keep in paper records as to ensure the security of the information being recorded. • The web-based program will consist of three main parts: • A Survey Generator • Homeowner Response Collection\Input • Statistical Analysis PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Technical Solution • The current program relies on a single centralized database to hold the surveys, responses, and a list of questions and answers. • HFHI standards are to use Microsoft products. We have adhered to HFHI standards. We are using ASP.net and mySQL for this tool. PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Statistical Analysis • The team is working with a Notre Dame team for the third phase of the tool. (Statistical Analysis) • We are using Crystal Reports for this portion of the tool. • We have one team member as a liaison to the ND team and is also the Crystal Reports integration member. PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Crystal Reports • Fully integrated into Visual Studio 2003.net • Small learning curve and easy of use • Has own powerful selection language • Built-in SQL and Graphing functionality • Query any type of database through many different connection types • Crystal Report Viewer Object has the capability to output reports to Acrobat PDF format PURDUE UNIVERSITY

National, State, & Affiliate Needs • National • Aggregate data by National, state, & local affiliate • Trends for each state and HFHI overall • Graphs and plots of data • State • Access to the aggregate data sorted by each local affiliate in the state • State aggregate data • Trends and graphs for local affiliates and entire state • Affiliate • Local affiliates need to be able to see Homeowners (by Id) • Each Homeowners answers for each question per generation • Aggregate Data for there affiliate in text and graphical form PURDUE UNIVERSITY

User Interface • System will be accessible via the Internet • The final product will contain Crystal Reports and will be implemented using ASP.Net • User interface will be as intuitive as possible to cater to the audience • System will be full integrated into the report system for easy access. PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Next Steps • The NDB team is in the process of integrating the statistical analysis. • Waiting on a completed survey from a professor and Ohio State; He is generating the actual surveys that will be used by HFHI. • Trip planned for April 22/23 to show progress to HFHI and get feedback. PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Headquarters Jaime Alexander Jessica Davis Andrew Finch Joe Hoffmann PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Problem Statement • The purpose of this project is to help develop a regional office and restore building from pre-construction to post-construction, if feasibility of doing so is determined. • This involves creation of pre-sketches, structure assessment, and blue prints. • Also involved is cost analysis and budget determination. PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Project Methodology • Meet with Doug Taylor to determine the needs and wants for the building. • Separated what was necessary and what was a dream. • Investigated some existing structures that have similar structures to what is to be designed. • Researched and developed various designs that meet the buildings needs. PURDUE UNIVERSITY

9 small offices 3 large offices large conference room small conference room 2 restore bathrooms 2 main bathrooms small shower Technical SolutionsWhat the designs need to incorporate • sleeping/first aid room • Prefab area • Warehouse • Paint room • Tool storage • Utilities room • restore PURDUE UNIVERSITY

First SketchesPlan 1 PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Next Steps • Find out exactly what HFH wants • $$$ - estimate costs of building • Raise money for project • Find out about placement & zoning • HVAC systems • Existing or new building PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Next Steps These questions need to be answered: • Can the HQ be built in parts? • Where will we get the money? • Where should it be built? • How much will initial construction cost? • What will monthly costs be after it’s built? PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Progress and Current Status • Semester Accomplishments • Developed preliminary sketches • Determined use of the structure • Inspected previous plans to determine the shortcomings of them and how to fix these inadequacies PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Tutorials Team Richard Black – Team Leader Aaron Rueth John Hostetler Hannah Mugford PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Problem Statement • Affiliates need a professional grade construction tutorial geared towards their volunteer base. • Also wish to improve volunteer efficiency by giving them a solid background in their area of contribution. PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Methodology for solving the problem • Currently, the tutorials are an Internet-based multimedia tool. • They incorporate text, pictures, and video to instruct users on how to perform basic volunteer construction tasks. • Volunteer Quick-Reference Card PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Technical Solution • Database Development Component • Information Database • W3C compliance • Usability and Scalability • PHP front-end • PHP back-end PURDUE UNIVERSITY

PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Tutorials Development Component • Level one – basic steps • Level two – in-depth information • Current status PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Tutorials Development Component • Existing/future video • Reference card template • Tutorial Generator Tool PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Next Steps • Integrate Multimedia into Framing and Painting Tutorials • Get feedback from HFHI in order to narrow our scope and design something they want • Developing a tutorial generator tool PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Delivery Review Energy Star PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Energy Star Team Delivery Review Richard Black Aaron Rueth PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Problem Statement • Energy efficiency across Indiana not known • Efficiency awareness needs improvement PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Project Methodology • Determine current status of the homes • 21 home inspections by TSI • Perform analysis to find major causes • Rem/Design • Educate state affiliates • Affiliate resource and link on website • Current status PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Energy Star • HERS rating • Model Home has a score of 80 • 1 point for every 5% more/less efficient • 86 is Energy Star Efficient • Analysis performed by licensed inspectors • Scores calculated by REM/Design PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Progress • Design of new website • Broke up the information into a readable format • Demonstration of website PURDUE UNIVERSITY
