technical assignments

Technical Assignment One: Part I of this report focuses on The M Resort’s compliance with Section 5 of ASHRAE Standard 62.1.  This standard outlines general requirements for the design of a mechanical system.  Part II uses the Ventilation Rate Procedure described in Section 6 of ASHRAE Standard 62.1.2007 to determine the outdoor air required for each space in the building.  Part III explores The M Resort in terms of ASHRAE Standard 90.1.2007, which deals with the energy efficiency of buildings.

Technical Assignment Two:  Part I of this report utilizes building simulation software, Trane TRACE, to estimate the
loads of The M Resort for one calendar year. The design documents were utilized to obtain the necessary information required by TRACE to run the simulation. The second portion of this report focuses on the energy analysis of the M Resort. The Trace model developed in part one was again used to attain the needed yearly energy use requirements of the building.
