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 Springer Wahl. 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. |
| PROPOSAL |
http://www.engr.psu.edu/ae/thesis/portfolios/2008/jsw225/images/RevisedProposal.pdf The first breadth topic to be researched will be a new Fire Protection system. With this system, the sprinkler floor coverage won't change, however the method the sprinkler lines are distributed through the building will be different. This will yield longer structural stability times in a fire. The first research topic will be of the current Workforce Problems. The highlight of the presentation and research will be the value determination of the Workforce Compositions of both a complex trade (Electrical) and a not so complex trade (Roofing). This last research topic will be of designing and placing a Solar Panel system for the building. The ultimate purpose would be to design a business solution to any coming subsidies to build an array for free to the building owners, but charge the owners for electricity at a rate lower than the standard electricity. This topic will also cover any problems encountered in installing between the Electrical and Roofing trades. (Updated January 28th, 2008)
