The SLDR gave us the space to reflect on this progress and demonstrate how our design is ready to move into development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the presentation, we walked our sponsor and faculty through our goals, progress, and lessons learned. The feedback we received highlighted our strong organization, clear communication, and forward-thinking approach to sustainability and smart-building innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2526team14\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/231\/2025\/12\/shared-image-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1131\" style=\"width:444px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2526team14\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/231\/2025\/12\/shared-image-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2526team14\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/231\/2025\/12\/shared-image-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2526team14\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/231\/2025\/12\/shared-image-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2526team14\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/231\/2025\/12\/shared-image-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2526team14\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/231\/2025\/12\/shared-image-280x210.jpeg 280w, https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2526team14\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/231\/2025\/12\/shared-image.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lessons and Reflections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This semester was about more than just creating a product, it was about learning how to think like a team of engineers. From weekly meetings to planning sessions, we learned how to translate complex challenges into actionable steps and how to keep momentum even when data or direction was still evolving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SLDR was a proud moment that reminded us how much collaboration, adaptability, and perseverance can achieve. We closed the semester feeling confident in our vision and ready to bring our ideas to life in the spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking Ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next semester, Team 14 will shift gears into <strong>implementation and testing<\/strong>, turning our design into a working prototype that facility managers can interact with and evaluate.
