The Thesis Proposal explains the exisitng mechancial systems for the HSS River Building. The proposal examines areas of improvement and how these issues can be handled in a redesign of the existing mechanical system. Two mechanical proposals are providing heat rejection from the heat pumps to the East River and provide a heat recovery wheel to condition the 100% Outdoor Air. |

ARCHITECTURAL BREADTH |
|
|
The HSS River Building façade contains over 60% of glass as analyzed in Technical Assignment 2 – Building and Plant Energy Analysis Report. This high percentage of glass will increase solar heat gain and heat loss during the summer and winter times respectively. A breadth analysis will determine whether or not the aid of solar shades or a façade with a different material will reduce internal loads, reducing the amount of energy needed to condition the building.

STRUCTURAL BREADTH |
|
|
By changing the 100% OA AHU and providing a heat recovery wheel, many mechanical equipments will be changed and even be removed from the schedule. Due to this alteration, the total weight of the penthouse will be changed and will perhaps reduce the amount of steel needed for support.
