Final Report
Below are links to various portions of the final report that documents the redesign and analysis that was performed of the Bucks County Justice center for this thesis. For the lighting depth, the lighting was redesigned for four unique spaces. For the electrical depth any required changes from the lighting depth were made, a short circuit study was performed for a circuit that was representative of many circuits in the building, and a feasibility analysis of incorporating a DC distribution system was performed. The two breadths were a combined heat and power CHP feasibility study and a reverberation time (RT) analysis for one of the rooms was performed. The MAE depth was an analysis on the influence of the sound reinforcement system on speech intelligibility in one of the spaces. Below the reports are links to auralizations that were created as part of the MAE depth.

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 Joshua Lange. 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.
