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 Jonathan Fisher.  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 Final Report is intended to present the findings of the three analysis described in the Thesis Proposal.  These topics included: changing the building façade to a light-weight precast system, integrate a rooftop photovoltaic array into the electrical system of the building, and analyze the benefits of implementing a Short Interval Production Schedule (SIPS schedule) to complete the building’s finishes.  This analysis were performed in a theoretical sense and do not reflect any mistakes made by the project team.
