| Problem Set 4 | Introduction to Sustainable Energy |
Problem set for the course Introduction to Sustainable Energy. |
Problem Set | Inquiry-Based Learning | Energy | SDG 7 - Affordable & Clean Energy |
| Problem Set 3: Thermal Analysis for a Small House | Ecology II: Engineering for Sustainability |
In this problem set you will be evaluating the energy performance of a house using a MATLAB model you construct. Your model will include heat gains and losses from heat conduction, convection, and radiation as well as heat gains from a thermostatically controlled furnace. You will be examining the effect of changing windows, and other structural components. |

| Problem Set 2: Species Competition | Ecology II: Engineering for Sustainability |
This problem builds on the class lectures about predator-prey ecosytems. Rather than predation, we consider two similar species competing for a common resource. We use the Lotka-Volterra competition model, which embodies the “competitive exclusion” principle: "If two competing species coexist in the same niche in a stable environment then one species will eventually crowd out the other.” |
