This resource was used to price multiple components in my analyses, including the pile-caps, mechanical system, and mezzanine structure.

This site had plenty of information concerning the bi-level parking garage system that was analyzed in the sustainable analysis of my report.

Human Powered Energy Generator (HPEG), Ben Erickson
This article is the basis for many of my calculations for the electric generating bicycle discussion that was a portion of the green gym analysis.

Plyboo Sport
Plyboo Sport's website was of great use for my research and how very helpful information that was used to compare the bamboo flooring system with standard floors. The site also provided me with a personal contact who helped me with my estimations.

Vulcraft Joist Catalog
This site provided me access to a free version of Vulcraft's steel joist catalogs. I used the information in these manuals to help with my loading calculations for the lightweight mezzanine structure.
