The final design report outlines the feasibility of installing a larger ventilation system to meet minimum ventilation rates prescribed by ASHRAE Standard 62.1. This system would be fitted with demand control ventilation and economizer for energy savings. Additional studies show research of a photovoltaic array, motorized internal shading, and cost and budget impacts to the original project due to the proposed design alternatives. NOTE: These studies were educational exercises in preparation for my career as a mechanical engineer. All calculations and design proposals are solely my work and are not meant to be a replacement for the current project design. |
