After much thought I believe I have finally found a thesis statement worth posting on my blog. I know it is not perfect, nor will it probably be the last attempt I make at a thesis for this applied research project. Well, here it goes:
"How can we determine which type of practical wall assembly used in residential construction is the best at preventing loss of heat in a climate such as Kamloops?"
It probably needs a little fine tuning so comments are welcome!

Hey Scotty,
ReplyDeleteI just read that thesis question and it sounds like what you are saying is that you are going to determine a method of determining the best wall assembly.
I think maybe it might be less confusing if you take out the first part "How can we determine..." and maybe just put:
"Which type of practical wall assembly used in residential construction is the best at preventing loss of heat in a climate such as Kamloops?"
And also, I am not really sure what you mean about it being a "practical" wall assembly? You mean as opposed to an "impractical" wall assembly?
Anyways, I think you have a good start here! Hope that helps a bit!

Thanks Sam! I like you way much more! Dale said I should consider using the word "practical" because the most efficiennt wall assembly is probably goin to be 10'-0" or so of straight insulation. However, that wouldn't be very practical nor would it be structurally sound. That is all that is meant by "practical". Perhaps I could reword it better though?
ReplyDeleteOh okay, that makes sense to me! I think you should keep the "practical" in there. I was thinking back to English class and was wondering if it made it a little wordy, but I think that you do have a good reason to keep it in there. I think I was over-thinking it a bit.
ReplyDeleteGlad I could help you out a bit :)

I know this is little, but instead of using "loss of heat", it might be better just to use "heat loss".
ReplyDeleteHi Scott,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you you have any wall assemblies in mind and if you are going to post them anytime soon?
Emily, I agree. It would definately sound a little less "wordy" to say it that way. Thank you for the advice.
ReplyDeleteMike, that's actually a wierd coincidence because I am working on that right now. Thanks for showing interest and I will try to post as soon as possible.
Scotty,
