Social Justice

​

• Safety reduces variability in a construction site by reducing delays in a schedule
• Occupational Safety and Health Act: enforce health and safety standards
• Solar and Skylight Installers
• Safety Net System
• Cranes, Conveyors

​

​

​

Social Justice

• Workers are exploited and lose money

​

• Fair Labor Standards Act: Enforce standard wages and overtime pay

​

​

​

Energy Justice

• Why: Water Waste, inequality in education
• Standards:
• Energy Efficiency Resource Standard : Achieve annual energy savings
• Renewable Portfolio Standard: at least 25% renewable by 2025
• Affordable Solar Program: installation incentives to low income families

​

Challenges

Khoa and Hai did not have prior experience with 3D software.
