Fair

Some measurements are shown on the blueprint, but some are missing.
Good

All parts of the blueprint have measurements.
Color

Blueprints that have color for each part of the house
Poor

No color provided on the blueprint, so the house would be all white.
Fair

Some color on the blueprint, but there could be more.
Good

All parts of the blueprint have color for the house.
Scale factor

Create a reasonable scale factor and build to match it.
Poor

No scale factor was used.
Fair

Scale was used however, the model was not built to the scale on the blueprints.
Good

Model was built to scale.
Rooms/Levels

Blueprints must have more than one room
Poor

Only one or no rooms in the blueprint/house, or only one level in the blueprint/house.
Fair

Only has two or three rooms in the blueprint/house, and only 1 level in the blueprint/house. (Level can be below ground - either crawl space or basement.)
Good

The blueprint has four or more rooms in the house and 2 or more levels in the blueprint/house. (Level can be below ground - either crawl space or basement.)
Research

Research focused on climate change atmospheric challenges.
Poor

Less than 3 of the areas in "good category" were studied and included in the design presentation.
Fair

Between 4 and 6 of the areas in "good category" were studied and included in the design presentation.
Good

More than 5 of the following were included in the design and presentation.
1) Albedo effect
2) carbon footprint
3) water footprint
4) renewable fuel
5) temperature regulation
6) composting
7) grey water or rain water capture
Intermediate deadlines met.

1) blue print
2) materials list
3) cutting and gluing
4) construction issues
5) presentation
Poor

Fewer than 3 deadlines were met.
Fair

3 or 4 deadlines were met.
Good

All deadlines were met.
Respect: materials, classmates

Clean up, set up, productive work during class
Poor

Fair

Student consistently failed to clean up, replace materials, and manage model or disrupted the work of other students.
Good

Student consistently cleaned up, replaced materials, and managed model and worked well with other students.
Tests on head loss

Model will be tested for heat loss
Poor

Massive loss of heat at the roofline, edges, windows, and ground floor.
Fair

Minimal loss of heat along the roofline, sides and ground floor. Evidence of planning.
Good

Almost no loss of heat anywhere.
Presentation of model

Poor

Few slides, little evidence of research, no references documented. Images of the model were not included.
Fair

Acceptable number of slides, needs more evidence of research and comprehension of the essentials of building a sustainable house. Several
Good

Over the top in all aspects.
Select one

One area of sustainability should be chosen to expand with more details.
Poor

Student's presentation showed little evidence, contained no diagrams, and was too short.
Fair

Student's presentation included evidence, however it was not presented clearly and was of improper length (or was read.)
Good

Excellent research-based presentation that was presented and not read from the power point.
