In this project, I learned what materials are needed in order to build a small shed. I also learned the approximate cost needed to construct one and the calculation process of determining the size of a heating/cooling unit needed.
It was my first time using Revit (software that we used to build the shed) and one part I found particularly confusing was changing the materials of the wall. Though overall it was a little hard to make sense of the long instructions, with the help of my peers and teacher I managed to build a nice little shed that I am satisfied with.

All the materials listed down on the spreadsheet are the materials we used to build the shed on Revit. The whole class and I researched almost all the materials to find the most appropriate and inexpensive prices that could be found in Austin. This spreadsheet showed me the extensive amount of planning needed in order to build even a tiny shed. Not to mention the amount of money that goes into it too.
Using the shed as reference, I calculated the heat gain/loss of the shed. With my calculations, I was able to determine what size heating/cooling unit would be best to maintain a comfortable temperature in the shed, which concluded to be a half ton unit.
