I am a fifth year architectural engineering student at Pennsylvania State University studying the mechanical option.  This option focuses on the design of HVAC systems in buildings.  I will graduate in May of 2013 with a Bachelor of Architectural Engineering.  Upon graduation I will receive EIT status.  I have recently completed a course in international construction at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China.

I have chosen to participate in the Charles Pankow Foundation Annual Architectural Engineering Student Design Competition for my senior thesis.  The design competition is held annually by the Architectural Engineering Institute (AEI) and focuses on improving the performance of building design and construction teams by advancing integration, collaboration, communication, and efficiency through BIM technologies.

The skills and knowledge that I have developed in BIM Studio prepared me for my internship at Michael Baker Corporation in the summer of 2012.  With Baker Engineering, I worked on numerous projects helping with equipment selection and calculations for various HVAC applications as a part of a multi-disciplinary team.

The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web‐based project and information center. It contains material produced for a year‐long Senior Thesis class. Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering. For an explanation of this capstone design course and its requirements click here.
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 Christopher
Ankeny. 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.
