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 Ankeny. 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.

Senior thesis was an excellent opportunity to research and learn more about specific topics that were of interest to me. I was able to learn more about mechanical systems and able both knowledge I have learned in class and through internships. Thesis has also helped me improve my problem solving skills as I worked to my complete tasks. It also helped me better learn how to manange my time and decide when I needed to get things done. Thesis was a good oppurtunity to further develop skills that I have learned throughout my college career and prepare myself for a job in the field of archtiectural engineering.

The CPEP site allowed me to share my ideas and work with people more efficiently. It also provided me with an easy way to share my abilities with prospective emplyees.

Thesis has been extremely beneficial to my college education and through it I have tied together all that I have learned in the 5 years that I have spent at Penn State.
