Technical Assignments 

Technical Assignment 1 checked for and analyzed the Bellevue Ambulatory Care Pavilion's compliance with ASHRAE Standard 62.1 and 90.1. .ASHRAE Standard 62.1 establishes the minimum requirements for outside ventilation air in buildings.  
ASHRAE Standard 90.1 establishes the minimum requirements for energy performance and analyzes the building envelope, HVAC systems, service water heating, power, lighting, and electric motor efficiencies.

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.

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 David Sivin. 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.
