User Note: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 Monjia Belizaire. 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. |

Thesis Proposal
The thesis proposal found in the link above includes a summary of the technical and research analyses to be performed during the Spring 2008 semester.
Breadth Study #1: Mechanical/Sustainability
This technical analysis will consist of identifying four LEED® points that would explore different design and construction methods to encourage a Gold LEED® rating on the City Hospital project. The hospital is currently intending to be LEED® Silver certified. From the credits established initially for LEED® Gold rating, a detailed analysis would be conducted on WE Credit 6.2: Stormwater Design: Quality Control. Research options include implementing a stormwater management plan.
Breadth Study #2: Electrical
This technical analysis will consist of investigating the advantages of using a medium voltage generator (4160V) and what effects it will have on the emergency distribution system. The hospital is currently using (2) 2MW diesel powered generator at 480V as emergency power. The basis of my research is to determine which voltage would be advantageous in terms of cost, installation, support, etc.
