Technical Assignments

The objective of Technical Report I is to determine the compliance or non-compliance of the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) Headquarters—707 Systems Renovations with ASHRAE  Standard 62.1-2007, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality, and ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low Rise Residential Buildings.

The objective of Technical Report II is to analyze the annual energy consumption and operating costs of the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) Headquarters—707 Building.  A source emissions analysis was also performed for the utilities consumed.  Trane TRACE 700 Version 6.2 was implemented to model the monthly utility consumption and room/zone load and airflows. 

The objective of Technical Report III is to analyze the existing conditions of the complete heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems that were installed in the 707 Building.  The usable floor space taken by the mechanical equipment, cost of construction,  and a LEED analysis were all performed.
