Growing up in a third world country really does put ones perspective on life and the use of resources in mind.
It showed you that in a world where each country experiences a different economic or ecological crisis , the people who are a big part of why this issue is occurring tend to ignore it. I never grew up to be like that , thankfully. From when i was a little girl i was always fascinated by the different ecosystems and their functions.
We used to get sent by our middle school to the beach to learn about recycling and the benefits it has on the environment, and on that trip we would also be picking up pieces of trash left by tourists and visitors. Even electricity was not always available so people had to turn to either generators or to solar energy.
After returning to the united states I was mind blown by how much garbage accumulates and the lack of knowledge
or effort in dealing with this issue. And I watched the whole country turn their blind eye to this issue as they piled trash and plastic containers like it was not their problem .
Sustainability has always been an important factor in my career path and life path. Making it one of my main interest in this industry that has the power to change so much .
By analyzing my ecological footprint here in the US, it really brought me back to a source of reflection to how my environmental standards have really taken a hit since Ive moved here. This comes as a wakeup call, and it did make me change some of my day to day routine when it came to keeping up with my duty to not
be a part of the masses and to actually understand that my actions towards the planet does have consequences. I might not be alive around the time that these consequences take full effect, but seeing how the planet is responding to years of abuse makes you think about the future of future generations.
The collaborative design process engaged the architect, engineers, the client, and the builders in an iterative approach. Early stage energy modeling set overall objectives. Energy models quickly identified that HVAC strategies would be critical to total energy savings. A wide array of energy saving ideas were developed (300+), including standard Lab EEMs (low flow fume hoods, energy recovery) and creative, unique ideas (demand-controlled RAHU airflow).
Mechanical and architectural systems work together to achieve an integrated solution to support the research and sustainability goals. For example, to achieve humidity control and low particle count while maximizing energy performance, the cleanroom enclosure and the exterior envelope are extremely air-tight, and the curtain wall system includes enhanced thermal breaks to avoid condensation.
Overall, MIT.nano saves more than 50% in energy costs over the LEED baseline and 51% reduction in operating carbon footprint. This high-performing building is the most energy efficient facility of its kind, on track to be the first LEED Platinum cleanroom.

SUBHEAD MIT.NANO IS ONE OF THE LARGEST COMMITMENTS TO RESEARCH IN MIT’S HISTORY AND THE LEED PLATINUM CERTIFIED BUILDING IS PROMINENTLY LOCATED STEPS FROM THE INFINITE CORRIDOR AND THE GREAT DOME, AT THE HEART OF THE CAMPUS. THE AWARD-WINNING BUILDING IS HOME TO A CLUSTER OF WORLD-CLASS LABORATORIES, INCLUDING CLASS 100 AND 1,000 CLEAN ROOMS, IMAGING SUITES, NANO-MAKERSPACE, AND CHEMISTRY TEACHING LABORATORIES. THE RESEARCH SPACE ENABLES AND ENHANCES THE WORK OF DOZENS OF ACADEMIC GROUPS FROM VARIOUS
DISCIPLINES. THE CORE IMAGING FACILITY CONTAINS SOME OF THE MOST PRECISE MICROSCOPES THAT REQUIRE VERY LOW VIBRATION, ACOUSTIC AND ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE.
Traditionally, clean-room facilities require a high amount of energy to maintain this low particle count environment. The MIT.nano project team, however, managed to identify primary drivers of
energy consumption and tweak these components to optimize performance while minimizing energy use.
The building also represents MIT’s site-to-system approach for reaching the goal of a net-zerocarbon campus. At MIT.nano, a functional relationship with MIT’s Central Utilities Plant
(CUP) supports this balance — the CUP can reuse MIT.nano’s reverse osmosis water in its cooling systems, while MIT.nano relies on the CUP’s distributed energy resource for both thermal and electric energy.
IN ADDITION TO ENERGY, MIT.NANO FITS WITHIN MI T’S STORM WATER AND LANDSCAPE ECOLOGY MASTER PLAN, ACHIEVING STORM WATER
MANAGEMENT, RESILIENCE PLANNING, AND HEAT-ISLAND REDUCTION GOALS THROUGH HARD SCAPE, LANDSCAPE, AND BUILDING MATERIALS. BUILT IN THE CENTER OF CAMPUS, MIT. NANO ALSO REVITALIZED A MAIN
25,000 SQUARE FEET OF CANOPY. CONNECTION POINT, TURNING A FORMER SERVICE YARD INTO OUTDOOR SPACES FOR TRANSIT AND GATHERING, INCLUDING THE NORTH CORRIDOR AND IMPROBABILITY WALK. OVER 100 TREES WERE PLANTED, ADDING A PROJECTED
AFTER RESEARCHING THE DIFFERENT WAYS MIT.NANO WAS FORMED. WE START TO DIVE IN TO THE SCIENCE IT TAKES TO PRODUCE A BUILDING THAT IS BOTH FUNCTIONAL AS A STUDY ZONE FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS WHILE ALSO CREATING A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR LABORATORY USE.
THE INTERNAL ATHMOSPHERE OF THE BUILDING WAS MADE TO KEEP THE MATERIALS AND THE STUDY HALLS AT A STEADY COOL TEMPERATURE THUS PROVIDING THE BEST RESULTS FOR EXPERIMENTATION
PROFESSION: TEACHER
Profile:
Miss Summer is an elementary school teacher in Iceland where she peruses her passion of engaging with small minds .
Interests:
She loves greenery and all plants. Witch is why she perused a career at building blocks elementary to help teach and advance the minds of her students through the green program in the school.
- After making her way through the class halls , she makes it to her classroom in time for the first lesson to begin.
Identity:
Miss summer has a very calm and relaxed demeiner , making her one of the most lovable and approachable teachers in her domain.
- Next she proceeds to walk through the cafeteria to get a view of the garden before she gets her coffee and goes to her office
- First miss summer starts her day by parking in the lot at the far end of the school giving her the chance to greet everyone.
Social standing in the community:
Miss summer is an icelandian born and raised. Making her familiar with the community she lives in. all images from personas are created by author
Profile:
Dan is the father of one of the students. He usually takes the time to drop off his daughter on his way to work at the pier.
Interests:
Some of Dans interests consist of fishing in ice caves and exploring the different volcanoes.
Identity:
Dan has a very bubbly personality. Making him a loving member of the community. Originally from Sweden he loved the cold and embraces the new life he shares with his family in Iceland

- They then make their way to the classroom where Julia has her daily classes
- First Dan drives up to the front entrance to the school. And parks as he walks his daughter Julia to the front office
Profile:
Julie is a middle school student who grew up learning the different benefits of agriculture from her teacher Miss summer.
Interests:
She loves frogs and playing with her friends in the yes outside of the cafeteria hide and seek. And she also loves chocolate ice cream with sprinkles.
- Julie then goes to play in the cafeteria after lunch so she can have fun with her friends before class stats again
Identity:
Julie is a very energetic girl who loves to play but also has a very shy side to her which makes her somewhat of an observer. Social standing in the community:
Julie is an island born child whose parents are from Sweden. She has many friends from the village and she loves fishing with her father
- First thing Julie does is attend the first half of the class after she puts her bag in her cubby
