The goal of the project is to develop life-cycle data and cost analysis to investigate the feasibility of a sustainable residential structure compared to a traditional residential structure. The first structure incorporates traditional design methods and the second includes sustainable design, as specified by LEED. A fire protection system was designed and integrated into both structures.
