Technical Assignment 1 Executive Summary (pdf)
Technical Assignment 1 is an analysis on The Milton Hershey School New Supply Center's ventilation requirements. Using ASHRAE Standard 62.1 to identify the required ventilation rates for the building, comparisons with the actual amount of outdoor air scheduled for the New Supply Center and the findings of this report concludes whether or not each air handling unit complies with Standard 62.1.
Technical Assignment 2 Building and Plant Energy Analysis Report
Technical Assignment 2 Full Report (pdf)
Technical Assignment 2 Executive Summary (pdf)
Technical Assignment 2 is an energy analysis of The Milton Hershey School New Supply Center. Using ASHRAE Standard 90.1 - 2004 to identify minimum requirements, the supply center's envelope, HVAC systems, and lighting and power systems are analyzed. Along with Standard 90.1, a LEED-NC rating system analysis is performed on the supply center to identify whether or not the building is considered "green". This report also includes results from a simulation reporting annual cost and energy consumption data for operating the supply center.
