Lighting Proposal Memo   posted 9/19/03
          - This report proposes which spaces will be analyzed for re-design as part of Thesis.  One space is suggested for each type, Large Work Space, Special Use Space, Circulation Space and Outdoor Space.

Lighting Existing Conditions and Design Criteria   posted 10/8/03
          - This report contains analysis of the existing lighting systems at the James J. Whalen Center for Music at Ithaca College.  Design criteria for the four spaces to be redesigned have been developed using IESNA guidelines and regulations set by ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-1999.  It is noted that this facility was designed before Standard 90.1 took effect, and therefore nearly all lighting systems do not conform.  This report also investigates architectural features, as well as required tasks, that will impact the lighting system design for each space.

Electrical Systems Existing Conditions and Building Load Summary Report   posted 10/29/2003
        - This report contains analysis of the existing electrical systems and a full building load calculation and summary.  Information on the electrical system was obtained through electrical floor plans, riser diagrams, and specifications.  Building utilization voltage, transformers, emergency power systems, overcurrent protection, switchgear, and lighting are all discussed.  The building load calculation is done in accordance to NEC suggestions and the lighting load is calculated using ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-1999 power density allowances.  The total building load is then compared to the existing distribution equipment ratings.

Schematic Design Proposal Presentation   posted 11/14/2003
        - This presentation displays the development of an overall concept for lighting the building. The mission and inspiration of the facility is analyzed and an emotional theme for the building is suggested. The function and purpose of each space is discussed and the overall concept is subtly translated into a preliminary lighting scheme. Hand sketches and verbal descriptions convey the fundamental goals of the lighting design in each space.

Please Note: While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of this 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 Benjamin Hagan.  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.
