This is a student-generated Capstone Project e-Portfolio (CPEP) produced in conjunction with the AE Senior Thesis e-Studio.

Welcome to William's AE Senior Thesis e-Portfolio: Final Report

 

The following report is a culmination of the past year's research, analysis, and design of the City Hospital campus in southeast Pennsylvania. The report concludes with final recommendatoions of incorporating cogeneration with base electric demand into the building system.
