“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 Allen Walker. 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.”

Welcome to Allen Walker's Senior Thesis e-Portfolio

Technical Report I

For this assignment we analyzed the the general lighting condistions within the building. Four spaces were then chosen to analyze further. computer models, energy calcuations and daylighting were a few of the analyses performed. To view the full report click here

Technical Report II

This report includes the analysis of the electrical distribution system used for the building. Electrical equipment, service entrance size, utility rate information and a single line diagram can all be found within this report. to view the full report click here

Technical Report III

The third technical report we created a presentation of our schematic design for the redesign of the four spaces we had analyzed in depth from technical report I. The main courtyard, entry lobby, exhibit gallery and painting studio are the four spaces that a new schematic lighting design was developed for.

We then presnted to industry professionals at Lutron. Their comments can be found here. Lutron Comments
