Cindy & Tram Consult have approached you with a design brief. They want to construct an Estate in Lekki area of Lagos State. Write a case study on the best choice of
foundation you would recommend, stating clearly reasons why you are making this
recommendation. The building is 5 storeys high; Lekki is a waterlogged/swampy area.

To save energy, the air supply to a 2000 ft office has been shut off overnight and the room temperature has dropped to 40°f. in the morning, the thermostat is reset to 70°f and warm air at 120 f begins to flov in at 200ft'/min. the air is well mixed within the room, and an equal mass flow of air at room temperature (changing with time) is withdrawn through a return duct. the air pressure is nearly 1 atm everywhere. ignoring heat transfer with the surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects, estimate how long it takes for the room temperature to reach 70°f. plot the room temperature as a function of time.
