MLS Engineering, Note-Taking Activity Lecture Class

 By Nate Feldman

1. We will discuss the buildings we saw on Friday and discuss how we think they should be retrofitted by using illustrations 

2. We will listen to the lecture, "Going Green," and take notes.  Afterwards, we will answer questions about the lecture.  


Going green = becoming environmentally friendly. 

*What are things you are doing in your daily life to go green? 

*I try to use my automobile a little less than before.  For example, if the place I am going to is 1-2 miles away, I will try to get there by foot, because I don’t want to put emissions in the air for a small trip.  I also try to use less electricity when I don’t have to.  If it is afternoon, and there is sunlight coming through the windows, I will not turn on lights.  Using the same bag for your shopping instead of getting a new one each time is another way to be greener.

 Vocabulary:

I am allergic to animal fur.  Animal hair is an allergen for some people.  Home dust is an allergen for some people.  Dairy is a food allergen.  Nuts are a big allergen. 

A speck is a small dot of something. 

Something irritating bothers you a lot.

Suspended = hanging or floating 

portable = something you can carry with you 

Questions: 

What things in the house are typical allergens to people?

How have filtration systems evolved?

How are HEPA filters superior to previous filtration systems?
