The main lighting design philosophy is design a space that reflects a retreat atmosphere for the dormitory. The lighting redesign will involve four spaces: the exterior façade, the lounge, the west lobby and its corridor, and a typical suite living space.
Electrical Depth
The electrical depth involves designing a photo-voltaic system for the building. A protective
device coordination student and short circuit analysis will also be conducted.
Mechanical Breadth
A new heat ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system for the two-story lounge will be designed and completed for the mechanical breadth. This will involve system investigation, analysis and selection, and its effect on the electrical load.
Structural Breadth
A transfer girder system will be design for the columns to be removed for the two-story lounge. The transfer girder system will allow a more open floor plan for recreation exercise for the health center.
