Technical Reports

Technical Report 1

ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2007 ventilation compliance evaluation

This first technical assignment analyzes the Barshinger Life Science & Philosophy Building for compliance with ASHRAE's outdoor air ventilation requirements as of 2007. This report also includes a section on compliance with section 5 of that standard, the overall air quality and air quality protection.

 

Technical Report 2

Building and Plant Energy Analysis

The second technical assignment evaluates the building's compliance with ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004, as well as a theoretical evaluation for LEED 2.2-NC points. The report contains summaries of these, as well as a building energy model, mechanical system initial costs, and "lost" space to mechanical/electrical equipment.

 

Technical Report 3

Existing Conditions Report

The third and final technical assignment covers the building's existing mechanical systems, and their operation. Flow diagrams/Schematics are provided in a form designed to help others understand the operation of the systems. Also, a critique is provided for the building's systems, and overall.

Note: While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the information contained herewith is considered a work‐in‐progress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Brian Ault. Changes and discrepancies in no way imply that the original design contained errors or was flawed. Differing assumptions, code references, requirements, and methodologies have been incorporated into this thesis project; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design.
  The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web‐based project and information center. It contains material produced for a year‐long Senior Thesis class. Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering.
