Walking Box Ranch – Design ∙ Quarterly Progress Report 1
QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT
University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Period Covering July 11, 2011 – October 10, 2011
Financial Assistance Agreement #FAA080094
Planning and Design of the Walking Box Ranch Property
Executive Summary
UNLV participated in two meetings with BLM regarding updating the current
Task Order, obtaining a two-year no-cost extension for the two Assistance
Agreements, and to develop the future WBR operating agreement between BLM
and UNLV.
Weather station progress included: 1) A study to review the recent developments
in various building envelope components and their effects on the energy
sustainability of a building has been completed and published, 2) Ground-source
heat pump (GSHP) Vs Photovoltaic (PV) technology: A detailed comparison of
ground source heat pumps and photo voltaics has been initiated, 3) A study to
identify the most suitable and economically viable PV technology/technologies
for applicability at the ranch buildings has begun, 4) Weather data for more than
one complete year are now available and analysis indicates that the ranch may not
be suitable for wind energy, but the area receives high insolation, thus the ranch
constitutes a very good solar resource, and 5) The weather station is being
modified to be grid-power independent, allowing it to be installed anywhere in the
ranch as the construction of the new buildings start. All parts have been
purchased and the unit will soon be installed.
Progress continues in developing pamphlets describing plants and animals native
to the area and also describing the local geology.
Progress on the Multimedia Field Guides project that will develop and
disseminate a modern geological and environmental field guide included testing
of seven podcast-style modules by Clark County School District teachers. Based
on feedback from the teachers some of the modules are being edited or revised
and a physical map to accompany the podcasts is being developed.
Blacksmith shop tools acquired by Rex Bell, Jr., have been donated to UNLV by
Dorothy Bell. These items will be curated by a new UNLV history professor who
specializes in museum curation, and a grad class currently under her direction.
Walking Box Ranch – Design ∙ Quarterly Progress Report 2
An application to CCSD to conduct a Professional Development workshop on
Environmental Literacy at the ranch has been approved. The workshop will be
held in March 2012. The workshop will offer one professional development
credit and be directed at middle and high school teachers who teach earth science,
life science, and environmental science.
UNLV is nearing completion in work with a security consultant to identify best
methods for securing the site when in operation.

Planning and Design, and Construction Phase Items:
1. Provide BLM with consultation and advise to assist the BLM in defining the
scope of work for the design of this project. The UNLV shall coordinate with
the University departments and schools and act as the academic focal point for
information relative to the design of the Science and Training Center for arid
land studies.
UNLV has participated in the following meetings with BLM during the past
quarter:
o Met with BLM July 27 to discuss the future operating agreement
o Met with BLM September 6 to discuss the future operating agreement
UNLV prepared agendas for all meetings and prepared and distributed
meeting notes that included action items for all meetings.
2. Participate in all phases of scoping and planning meetings and meetings with
the BLM’s planners, architects, and contractors for the design and development
of the Walking Box Ranch as a Science, Research, and Training Center and
Museum for the study of arid lands and development of the Headquarters as a
Museum and interpretive center. The UNLV’s participation is to provide input
to the BLM relevant to the specific educational and research goals of the
project.
UNLV provided input to the architects on revised drawings for several
buildings that were modified to meet the reduced construction budget.
3. Assist BLM in developing the environmental assessment by providing technical
input and review of the draft environmental assessment.
UNLV was not involved in any environmental assessment activities this
quarter. However, UNLV is aware that BLM is working on completing this
Walking Box Ranch – Design ∙ Quarterly Progress Report 3
assessment so that geotechnical investigations at the ranch can begin on
schedule. UNLV is available to help as needed.
4. Provide technical and academic advice to BLM in the development of the
museum facilities, by conducting research into the historic records of the ranch
and providing recommendations about the appropriate interpretive and
environmental education programs that may be presented at the ranch.
Additional research is now underway to prepare brochures describing birds
and amphibians that are native to the ranch locality and also the local geology.
Dorothy Bell, widow of Rex Bell, Jr., has donated all of the blacksmith
equipment to UNLV for use in exhibits at the ranch. This equipment has been
collected and is now being stored in the storage trailer at the ranch.
Deirdre Clemente, a new faculty member in the history department at UNLV,
who specializes in curating museum collections will have her graduate class
work on curating these items
Weather Station: The final objective of the project is to assess the
sustainable (renewable and/or energy efficient) energy potential of the
Walking Box Ranch.
Accomplishments:
o Building envelope study: A study to review the recent developments in
various building envelope components and their effects on the energy
sustainability of a building is continued during this quarter. The results of
the study are presented as a technical review paper for publication in the
journal-Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews. The paper has been
accepted and published. This article strives to make an exhaustive
technical review of the building envelope components and respective
improvements from an energy efficiency perspective.

(http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364032111002504)
o Ground-source heat pump (GSHP) Vs Photovoltaic (PV) technology:
The intention of this task is to compare GSHP and PV for their potential as
a cost effect renewable energy option for applications at WalkingBox
Ranch buildings. In this quarter a complete, more detailed analysis is
initiated. This analysis should be able to bring out the economic and
environmental benefits of using either/both of these technologies. A few
of the available federal and regional incentive programs for both the
technologies will also be discussed in this study. A ground-coupled and
PV mathematical modeling is carried out using MATLAB program. To
authenticate the findings, a technical journal publication is planned.
o Solar PV performance and economic studies: Prospective net zero
(electric) energy buildings at the Walking Box Ranch can be achieved by
Walking Box Ranch – Design ∙ Quarterly Progress Report 4
applying solar PV systems. Thus, the focus of this task is to identify the
most suitable and economically viable PV technology/technologies for
applicability at the ranch buildings.
o WBR weather station website monitoring, maintenance and
continuous meteorological data collection: The intent of this task is to
ensure unhindered collection of meteorological data at the WBR location
and analyze the data to infer important conclusions on the renewable
energy potential at the WBR geographic location. The meteorological data
collection was initiated in June, 2010 and had been continuous since then.
Thus, a set of meteorological data which is collected for more than one
complete year is available now. The following are some of the important
conclusions that are easily inferred from the collected data. Average wind
speeds of less than 5 miles/hour are available at the ranch. Areas with
annual average wind speeds around 6.5 m/s or higher at a height of 80
meters are generally considered to have suitable wind resource for wind
farms. Thus, this area might not be a good prospective location for wind
power generation. However, there have been new generation wind
turbines that can operate at lower wind speeds. A detailed analysis
considering all different types of wind turbines is required to arrive at a
concrete conclusion. Insolation is high in summer months compared to the
winter months. Also, the total annual average global horizontal irradiation
is 2163.62 kWh/m2. This suggests that geographic location of WBR has a
very good solar resource and can be harnessed by using appropriate solar
technologies such as photovoltaics, evacuated glass tube solar water
heaters, etc.
o Power-autonomous weather station: The target of this task is to develop
a grid-power independent weather station, allowing it to be installed
anywhere in the ranch as the construction of the new buildings start. The
auxiliary power system components such as photovoltaic module, battery
system, charge controller, sun-protection enclosure, wiring and the other
necessary fittings have been sized and all the components have been
procured for installation at the WBR. See Attachment
Weather_Station_Progress_070511.doc for quarterly progress.
UNLV is funding an education project to develop and disseminate a modern
geological and environmental field guide designed to engage and educate
students and the public at the Walking Box Ranch field station in southern
NV. A series of geospatially-enhanced pod/vodcast-style field guides is being
developed in which participants at the ranch observe the landscape while
guided by audio tracks, remote sensing imagery, and digital animations.
Aimed at the inexperienced user, the employment of hand-held devices will
provide users the ability to tailor their experience and view information about
remote sensing, geology, and geospatial technology. The Nevada State
College Cooperative Teacher Improvement Program teacher education
workshop field tested the modules and provided feedback. The modules
worked for focused field-trip activities but were too complex for a public user
and are thus being reconfigured. Some of the podcasts are being edited and re-
Walking Box Ranch – Design ∙ Quarterly Progress Report 5
recorded and a hand-held physical map of the module will be developed. A
finished product will be produced for public release by December 2011. See
Attachment Multimedia_Progress_100111.doc for quarterly progress.
UNLV is funding a project: “Documenting Walking Box Ranch using
Night/low light techniques”. The project will use low light/night
photography to isolate the location and artifacts from harsh daytime lighting.
The goals are to provide documentary images of the location for education
and research projects related to the ranch as well as to provide images suitable
for outreach and fundraising for the site. Photography visits are schedule for
Oct 21-22 for low light photography owing to the near new moon, and
November -9 for full moon and full day shooting. See attachment:
Low_Light_Photography_072611.doc.
5. Contribute technical and educational-based assistance to the BLM for the
BLM’s consideration during construction development for the Science and
Training Center and Museum as it relates to the future operations of these
facilities as education centers.
UNLV has continued to hold internal security meetings with a security
consultant to finalize planned security details for the ranch. He is currently
refining his security recommendations in consultation with UNLV IT and
security personnel.
PLI educators (Brody and Page) have been approved by the CCSD for a
Professional Development workshop on Environmental Literacy. The
workshop will be directed at middle and high school teachers who teach earth
science, life science and environmental science. The workshop, which will be
held at WBR in March 2012, will last about 2.5 days, will require 15 hours of
contact time, and will offer one professional development credit.
6. Provide input and feedback to the BLM during the construction of the Field
Research and Training Center and the Museum.
The project is not under construction at this time.
Phase 1 Deliverables:
1. Provide a Facility and Future Needs Alignment Report that will identify the
types of future research and training programs that will be conducted at
Walking Box Ranch Field Research and Training Center and Museum. The
report will also include a matrix that aligns predicted future activities with
facility, construction, furnishing, and equipment needs.
This report will be prepared after BLM has approved of the recently received
business plan and after a conceptual plan for operation of the ranch after
construction is identified by BLM and UNLV. UNLV and BLM are now
meeting to define a workable future operations plan.
Walking Box Ranch – Design ∙ Quarterly Progress Report 6
2. Assist the BLM in developing a Preservation Plan for Existing Structures on
the Headquarters Parcel of the Walking Box Ranch.
UNLV continues to work with project architects by providing information and
responses to questions about the facilities to determine how best to renovate
the historic buildings for preservation.
UNLV has recently had conversations with BLM to express the serious nature
of the continuing water damage to the ranch house. We agreed in September
to hold a meeting at the ranch house in the near future to address this issue.
3. Provide a Business Plan detailing anticipated future research, training, and
other use goals and a financial plan for reaching those goals. The Business
Plan should also describe income and operations and maintenance costs.
Since the construction budget has been determined to be smaller than
previously recognized, buildings are in the process of being scaled back and it
is not yet certain what will and will not be constructed. As soon as BLM
determines what buildings will be built, the business plan will be modified.
January 2012 is the target date for a revised business plan.
Phase 2 Deliverables:
1. Prepare a Project Development Plan that reflects UNLV’s Business Plan. The
Project Development Plan should refine the anticipated research, residential
training activities, and Museum use; identify recommended new facilities and
renovations; outline construction; and plan center management (print and
PDF).
The project development plan, which is essentially the future operating plan,
is now under discussion between UNLV and BLM. This quarter we met July
27 and September 6 to produce a conceptual operating plan that meets the
needs of both BLM and UNLV. An agreement that details future operations
will follow.
2. Assist the BLM in creating a detailed Work Plans for each aspect of project
development such as, but not limited to, existing building use, new construction,
interpretive programs, and center management, based upon the Comprehensive
Master Plan and Preservation Plan.
The detailed work plans will be a component of the future operating plan,
which is now being discussed in meetings between UNLV and BLM
Phase 3 Deliverables:

Walking Box ranch project- quarterly progress report (July 2011 – September 2011)
Project Goal
The final objective of the project is to assess the sustainable (renewable and/or energy efficient)
energy potential of the Walking Box Ranch. This led us to divide the project into various tasks.
The following is a brief report on the progress of each task in this quarter.
Task 1: Building Envelope studies
Goal: The prospective Walking Box Ranch (WBR) buildings are expected to be highly energy
efficient and the building envelope plays a very important role in improving the energy
efficiency of any building. Thus, the objective of this task is to study the passive energy
efficiency strategies through improvements in the building envelopes and document them for
applicability at WBR buildings.
Progress: A study to review the recent developments in various building envelope components
and their effects on the energy sustainability of a building is continued during this quarter. The
results of the study are presented as a technical review paper for publication in the journal-
Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews. The paper has been accepted and published. This
article strives to make an exhaustive technical review of the building envelope components and
respective improvements from an energy efficiency perspective. Different types of energy
efficient walls such as Trombe walls, ventilated walls, and glazed walls are discussed.
Performance of different fenestration technologies including aerogel, vacuum glazing and frames
are presented. Advances in energy efficient roofs including the contemporary green roofs,
photovoltaic roofs, radiant-transmittive barrier and evaporative roof cooling systems are
discussed. Various types of thermal insulation materials are enumerated along with selection
criteria of these materials. The effects of thermal mass and phase change material on building
cooling/heating loads and peak loads are discussed. Application of thermal mass as an energy
saving method is more effective in places where the outside ambient air temperature differences
between the days and nights are high. Air tightness and infiltration of building envelopes are
discussed as they play a crucial role in the energy consumption of a building. Energy efficiency
approaches sometimes might not require additional capital investment. For example, a holistic
energy efficient building design approach can reduce the size of mechanical systems
compensating the additional cost of energy efficiency features. The journal publication of this
technical article means an authentic endorsement from the technical community regarding our
literature research findings.
Progress Index: completed, with successful journal publication. The details of the published
journal article are as follows:
Publication: Suresh B. Sadineni, Srikanth Madala, Robert F. Boehm, “Passive building energy
savings: A review of building envelope components”, Renewable and Sustainable Energy
Reviews, Volume 15, Issue 8, October 2011, Pages 3617-3631, ISSN 1364-0321,
10.1016/j.rser.2011.07.014.
(http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364032111002504)
Task 2: Ground-source heat pump (GSHP) Vs Photovoltaic (PV) technology
Goal: The intention of this task is to compared GSHP and PV for their as a cost effect renewable
energy option for applications at WalkingBox Ranch buildings.
Progress: In the previous quarter a preliminary analysis that compares the life cycle costs of
both the technologies (the ground-source heat pump technology and the PV technology) was
completed. This preliminary report concludes that through upgrading to GSHP technology from
air-source heat pump technology, a monetary savings of $0.15 to $0.19 per unit kWh electrical
energy saved is highly probable for a life-time operation of 25 years. Similarly, electrical energy
can be generated at $0.158/kWh to $0.198/kWh by solar photovoltaic technology with a life time
operation of 25 years.
In this quarter a complete, more detailed analysis is initiated. This analysis should be able to
bring out the economic and environmental benefits of using either/both of these technologies. A
few of the available federal and regional incentive programs for both the technologies will also
be discussed in this study. A ground-coupled and PV mathematical modeling is carried out using
MATLAB program. To authenticate the findings, a technical journal publication is aimed.
Progress Index: Satisfactory and preliminary report is complete, initiated a further thorough
study.
Task 3: Solar PV performance and economic Studies
Goal: Prospective net zero (electric) energy buildings at the Walking Box Ranch can be
achieved by applying solar PV systems. Thus, the focus of this task is to identify the most
suitable and economically viable PV technology/technologies for applicability at the ranch
buildings.
Progress: A technical paper on experimental comparison and economic analysis of various PV
technologies (in the desert-type climatic conditions of south-western USA) was presented at the
ASME 2011 Energy Sustainability Conference which was held during August 7-10, 2011. The
daily performance results from the experimental test setup of various PV panels were used in this
paper. In the same paper, an economic model is also developed in an effort to compare various
market available PV technologies. The model performs a life cycle cost analysis of different PV
technologies for a user-defined installed power and PV life expectancy (generally 25 years or
more).

Progress Index: Completed, with a technical conference presentation and publication.
Task 4: WBR weather station website monitoring, maintenance and continuous
meteorological data collection.
Goal: The intent of this task is to ensure unhindered collection of meteorological data at the
WBR location and analyze the data to infer important conclusions on the renewable energy
potential at the WBR geographic location.
Progress: The meteorological data collection was initiated in June, 2010 and had been
continuous since then. Thus, a set of meteorological data which is collected for more than one
complete year is available now. The following are some of the important conclusions that are
easily inferred from the collected data.
Figure 2. Wind speed variation over more than a year period (6/2/2010 to 9/28/2011) at the WBR
geographic location
Figure 2 shows the wind speeds at the WBR. As shown average wind speeds of less than 5
miles/hour are available at the ranch. Areas with annual average wind speeds around 6.5 m/s or
higher at a height of 80 meters are generally considered to have suitable wind resource for wind
farms. Thus, this area might not be a good prospective location for wind power generation.
However, there have been new generation wind turbines that can operate at lower wind speeds.
A detailed analysis considering all different types of wind turbines is required to arrive at a
concrete conclusion.
Figure 3 shows the daily averaged solar insolation (in MJ/m2) on a horizontal surface. As shown,
the insolation is high in summer months compared to the winter months. Also, the total annual
average global horizontal irradiation is 2163.62 kWh/m2. This suggests that geographic location
of WBR has a very good solar resource and can be harnessed by using appropriate solar
technologies such as photovoltaics, evacuated glass tube solar water heaters etc.

The continuous collection of meteorological data is ensured with occasional troubleshooting. In
this quarter, there were no technical errors that caused the interruption of automated data
collection and scheduling. Timely update of the database by using Microsoft SQL Server
Integration Services (SSIS) is monitored at regular intervals. The RTMC web server and the
reporting web server that displays the „Live data‟ and „Historic data‟ respectively are being
maintained.
Progress Index: Satisfactory and on-going with continuous meteorological data collection.
Task 5: Power-autonomous weather station
Goal: The target of this task is to develop a grid-power independent weather station, allowing it
to be installed anywhere in the ranch as the construction of the new buildings start.
Progress: The auxiliary power system components such as photovoltaic module, battery system,
charge controller, Sun-protection enclosure, wiring and the other necessary fittings have been
sized and all the components have been procured for installation at the WBR. A schematic of the
proposed system is shown in Figure 5.
Progress Index: Satisfactory and awaiting installation approval.

Results:
Since the Nevada State College Nevada Cooperative Teacher Improvement Program
teacher education workshop field tested the first set of modules at Walking Box Ranch in late
June, we have received feedback from the participants. Information obtained from the teachers
from both observations and a survey indicate that these materials are appropriate for focused
field-trip activities, but that they require too much guidance for a public user to walk up and use
the module easily. Thus, we are in the process of reconfiguring the modules for future public
use.
Since the beginning of July, the undergraduate effort has ended, and the PI and graphic
artist have been discussing details in reconfiguring the modules, building more graphic content,
and hosting the media in an easily-accessible web based format. Our plan is to edit and re-record
some of the podcasts, and develop a hand-held physical map of the module in the fall, to provide
a finished product for public release by December 2011.
