Thesis Research
RESEARCH TOPIC - Building Information Modeling-3D
Methodolgy
- Review literature on BIM-3D modeling.
- Conduct phone interview with Jan Reinhardt, the Program Manager of ViCon - Virtual Design and Construction, at Turner Construction.
- Attend a 3D modeling coordination meeting with Paul White, MEP coordinator on Phase 2 of the City Hospital project and subcontractors to get an understanding of some of the issues faced and how these issues could have potentially been eliminated during Phase 1 between trades during the construction phase if BIM was used.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS 1 - IMPLEMENTING LEED® GOLD CERTIFICATION
Methodolgy
- Literature review to become familiar with the different LEED® points
- Review the LEED® points that are intended to be achieved on the project
- Review potential LEED® points with LEED® consultant, Gabriella Edwards on the City Hospital project
- Identify four LEED® additional points for Gold Certification (includes SS Credit 6.2)
- Investigate the implementation of SS Credit 6.2: Stormwater Design: Quality Control which includes research options such as limiting the disturbance of natural water hydrology by managing stormwater runoff.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS 2 - IMPLEMENTING MEDIUM VLOTAGE GENERATOR
Methodolgy
- Review literature on using medium voltages on construction projects
- Review case studies of Hospitals that uses Medium voltage
- Review City Hospital electrical drawings and specifications for information about the (2) 2MW diesel generators
- Conduct an analysis using 4160V generator
- Compare costs, installation, materials used between existing system and 4160V analysis
