Matt Fogarty is currently in his 5th year of Architectural Engineering at Penn State University. He is pursuing an integrated B.A.E./M.A.E. degree focusing on Lighting and Electrical systems, and will graduate in December 2013. He has successfully completed the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam in the spring of 2012, and hopes to acquire his PE in the future.

The Student Society of Architectural Engineering (S.S.A.E) and the student chapter of The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), provide Matt with an opportunity to be involved and extend his education beyond the classroom. Outside of Architectural Engineering, Matt enjoys working out and participates in intramural flag football, basketball and softball.

As a freshman and sophomore, Matt has had the privilege to intern in an engineering design firm in State College, PA. During the summer of 2011, Matt interned with a general contractor in Washington, DC. Matt enjoyed the summer of 2012 with a lighting design firm based in Philadelphia.

The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web‐based project and information center. It contains material produced for a year‐long Senior Thesis class. Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering. For an explanation of this capstone design course and its requirements click here.

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.
