Revised Proposal
Full Proposal (Original)
Executive Summary with Breadth (Original)
This report outlines the existing mechanical systems and recommends changes to improve energy consumption, occupant comfort, and sustainability. The redesign will include an under floor air distribution and dedicated outdoor air system and chilled beams.
Breadth 1 - Architectural/Site
The goal of the architectural/site breadth is to obtain SPiRiT credit 2.C2, which requires innovative use of wastewater technology. This can be done by reusing storm water or grey water for sewage conveyance or implementing an on-site wastewater treatment system. The wastewater treatment system that will be used for this purpose will be in the form of a constructed wetland that is architecturally appealing and works well on the site.
Breadth 2 - Electrical
Implementing new mechanical systems will change the loads to the building’s central plant. This will change the overall amount of power required for the building. Because of this, the distribution panels will need resized. Also, changing equipment will require different sized wiring. The distribution panels and wiring will be resized as part of the electrical breadth. Then, a cost analysis will be done on the new panels and wiring. This will more fully analyze the cost impact of the changes to the mechanical system. Calculations will be done in Excel.
