| 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 Jason Witterman. 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. |

Technical Assignments
|
Technical Assignment 1 - Executive Summary (.pdf) |
|
| Technical Assignment 1 is an analysis of the ventilation system requirements for McCarran International Airport - Terminal 3. ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2007 is used as the basis for determining the minimum requirements, and compliance is determined by whether or not design outdoor airflow values for each system meet these requirements. |
| |
|
|
|
| Technical Assignment 2 covers various aspects of energy analysis for McCarran International Airport - Terminal 3. This consists largely of demonstrating compliance with ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004. In addition, this report investigates certification under LEED-NC Version 2.2. A portion of this report is also dedicated to a summary of the initial HVAC system cost, as well as the space that is occupied by this system. Finally, Technical Assignment 2 discusses load estimates, annual energy consumption, and annual operating costs for Terminal 3. |

|
|
Technical Assignment 3 is an evaluation of the existing mechanical system for McCarran International Airport – Terminal 3. This includes a summary of design conditions, ventilation requirements, design load, and energy analysis as determined in previous technical assignments. In addition, this report includes a summary of the design considerations and equipment used, as well a description of how the system works. Finally, a critique of the system is included along with some areas of concern that would be best suited for improvement. |
