Final Report

The analyses conducted in the following report are a result of data and information collected over the past two semesters. The background information about the building proved to be critically important in the proposed adjustments, modifications, and redesign. The office and lab spaces were investigated and redesigned to accommodate for a variable refrigerant flow mechanical system. Acoustical design and electrical system considerations were made in order to ensure other systems were not adversely affected by this proposed change. These analyses were completed to give the author a more substantial and beneficial understanding of 123 Alpha Drive’s building systems.
