Welcome to Christopher Brandmeier's Senior Thesis Site.

CPEP Site Purpose

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.

About AE Senior Thesis

AE Thesis is a year-long course which requires students to perform an in-depth investigation of an existing building, then propose and execute advanced design. The thesis is a synthesis of all the academic knowledge acquired over the student's college career, and also broadens the student's writing and presentation skills. In the case of this thesis, the final reports will comply with Schreyer Honors College thesis requirements.

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 Brandmeier. 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.
