User 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 Caitlin Hanzel. Changes and discrepancies in no way imply that the original design contained errors of 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.
Final Report |
The final report includes a mechanical depth, which explores the replacement of fan-coil units with radiant ceiling panels and the redesign of the buildings dedicated outdoor air system. Although the initial proposal included the design of a chilled beam system, radiant ceiling panels were eventually chosen due to their excellent acoustical qualities. A acoustical and solar/electrical breadth were also analyzed. |
