I'm making binders for the project they've done and learning to use the LEED rating system. It's very interesting all the many different ways to show a building is green. I never realized how different types of glass can change the temperature inside a building or that different types of concrete have different green ratings. Some are more environmentally friendly, like those using Flyash. Another interesting material is quiet rock, which is a drywall product that can reduce noise and is used for sound insulation.
I like working with mechanical concepts and am interested in architecture and engineering. I'm not generally good at drawing, but I took an architecture class two years ago and found that I like drawing buildings and designing stuff. I found that very interesting.
