Q13.1: The rubric says an excellent proposal should discuss “the cost of implementing the damper in a real building”; does a “real building” mean our physical model or its hypothetical real-life, full-scale counterpart?

A: If your damper was inspired from an existing damper implemented in a real building, then provide a cost of implementing the damper, if available. However, if your damper is unique and wasn’t implemented before, please provide a prediction of how much it will cost to implement a hypothetical real-life, full scale counterpart.
