Breadth Topics
Breadth 1 - Architectural
External aluminum solar shading was constructed on the North West corner of the building. To evaluate the architectural impact of solar shading on all four sides of the building, an architectural model will be constructed using Autodesk Revit and Adobe Photoshop. Different types of solar shadings will be modeled in Revit to determine which type is most aesthetically pleasing.
Breadth 2 - Electrical
The changing of the building mechanical system will have an impact on the design of the electrical system. Both alternatives systems will possibly reduce the chiller size because less amount of air will be conditioned. However, additional energy is needed to power the heat recovery system and chilled beams. Therefore, an electrical analysis will be done to determine the power distribution requirements as compared to the existing design with respect to energy consumption.

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 Shiyun Chen. 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.
