Final Report |
|
The Final Report summarizes the work performed throughout the technical reports as well as the proposed alternative mechanical system design alternatives. These alternatives include Ground Source Heat Pumps, thermal storage, as well as solar heating. Also, breadths were done to analyze topics outside of the mechanical system. Breadths were performed on the Acoustics of the main concert room as well as on the architecture of the building. |
