The affordable housing project I designed is a Habitat for Humanity house located in Noblesville, IN. A map of the area is provided below. This house was designed for the Cook family, a family of four. There are two adults and two children sharing a three bedroom home. Incorporated into the house are the following sustainable design features: Feasible daylighting and Energy Star rated appliances. Being constrained to the Habitat for Humanity guidelines, I had to keep the house within 1070 square feet. To give the relatively small home an open and, thus, larger feeling, I arranged all of the home's rooms around an open living room/kitchen/dining room area that was minimally separated to both save space and provide an open, flowing atmosphere. The client originally wanted an attached storage area, but after incorporating it into the design, it put the total area over the limit. Removing it, however, put the area somewhat under the limit. The client and I eventually agreed to remove it from the final plans.

Water Pressure Calculations: LINK
I found the actual water pressure to be somewhere around 44.51 (rounded) PSI, which achieves the residential minimum.
Note: Due to some technical difficulties with Excel, some of the values on the spreadsheet are of a smaller font than the rest of the document. This was not intended, and is still readable if you zoom in slightly with the buttons in the top left of the window.
