Project Implementation Plan

     At this stage of the project, we are analyzing the information we received from the client. We are now exploring different ideas to come up with the best solution for the clients needs. We are going to discuss our project with an expert in thermodynamics.
This is being completed by creating an agenda for the whole group, by splitting up the work between our members.

As part of our investigation into which appliances gave off the most heat, we visited a commercial kitchen located in the basement of the SUB on the UBC Campus. The walk- in freezers, walk-in coolers, dishwashers and dryers were found to give off sufficient heat to warrant heat recovery. We are planning on transferring the heat to the water system.
