FINAL THESIS REPORT

The final report is a stand-alone document that includes a summary evalutation of the existing mechanical system of Stengel Hall previously conducted and an in-depth analysis of the proposed research for Stengel Hall and the Linden Hall School for Girls. The report provides an explaination of all research on both the proposed geothermal and biomass systems and the associated breadth topics. A final recommendation is given based on the energy use and emissions of the proposed systems.

It should be noted that this report is intended for educational purposes. In no way are the proposed alternatives meant to replace the work of the design team for the Linden Hall School for Girls.
