Using Energy Plus in Honeybee we were able to calculate the total energy use of the baseline model. After this we interviewed the resident and adjusted the occupancy schedules accordingly and were able to optimize the energy performance by eliminating windows, increasing insulation, adding solar shading, and finally introducing PV panels which allowed us to generate more energy than the home needed. While the panels are a large investment initially, they would save money in the long run.

For our project, we are defining families as groups or individuals of any who care for minors and act as their legal guardians. These people can be any race, gender, sexual orientation, or nationality. The families can include biological members as well as family members or individuals beyond the western norm of the “nuclear family.” Families strengthen community in neighborhoods and children liven communities. Integrating lower income or immigrant families, specifically, increases the diversity of the neighborhood and can make it a more inclusive place to live for all social groups and cultures. For families increased exposure to jobs, transportation, education, and city life. Increased access to safe environments (schools are safe areas to live in). Take advantage of existing green spaces, landmarks and policies. In most cities, it is expensive to live close to downtown, smaller apartments. Boston is the same. Moreover, there are pockets with no families around Fenway (BU, Northeastern) + Harvard, where the institutions cut off families from the waterfront Highest concentration of families in Roxbury and southern Boston. These are also predominantly minority neighborhoods, while those up by the Charles river lacking diversity We focused specifically on the Fenway neighborhood, which we think has a unique opportunity to work as an intersection between different neighborhoods and connect Boston back to the waterfront. Currently, the neighborhood culture is homogeneous, defined by the higher ed institutions (in blue) and Fenway Park, rather than a community of people. With the new developments in the area, there is an opportunity to redefine Fenway as a neighborhood. The area can still honor the historic institutions (fenway, colleges, museums) while also integrating and celebrating the diverse melting pot of Boston. Given the desirability of the neighborhood though, this creation of a diverse, family-friendly neighborhood is not possible without regulation. The amount of affordable housing available has increased with the introduction of inclusionary zoning, but the problem with this is that the amount of housing available to families needing 3 bedrooms and more is very scarce.
