FINAL REPORT

The final report is an in-depth technical piece on the work performed over the course of the semester.

For the depth studies, two existing mechanical systems were evaluated for the Sinai Hospital South Tower Vertical Expansion. Alternatives were subsequently proposed to improve each system, and the economics and emissions of the existing designs and redesigns were compared and contrasted. In addition, breadth studies were performed to evaluate both redesigns' impact on structural and architectural elements.

Key issues such as design considerations, methods used, and system modifications are explained in the report. Calculations, conclusions, and recommendations are also provided. The report can be downloaded in full or by section below.

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 Anly Lor. 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.
