Proposal

Depth 1– Lighting

The scope of the lighting depth is to redesign three indoor spaces and one outdoor.  These include an open office, prefunction area, auditorium, and outdoor plaza.  A preliminary schematic design for each space was completed in the Tech 3 report.  The designs were presented in front of a panel of professional lighting designers on December 8^th, 2010 and their comments will be taken into consideration in the revisions for the spring semester. 

 

Depth 2– Electrical

The scope of the Electrical Depth includes a redesign of the branch circuit distribution for the four spaces that are being relighted, a protective device coordination study that addresses a single path through the distributions system, and two electrical depth topics.  The depth topics that will be researched are transformer consolidation and a short circuit analysis using SKM software.

 

Breadth  1– Mechanical

The first breath will be a comparison of the heat load produced by incandescent luminaires vs. compact fluorescents within the auditorium.  The original lighting design for the space primarily uses recessed incandescent luminaires, which tend to produce more heat than other lamps.  My new design for the space replaces many of these incandescent with compact fluorescents.  With the change in lamp type, a change in heating load within the space should occur.  Therefore, an analysis will be run through Trane Trace to determine the difference in heating load.

 

Breadth 2– Acoustics Study

For the Acoustical Breadth, an analysis of the acoustics will be conducted and evaluated within the auditorium and changes will be made if necessary to improve the acoustics.
