Thesis Proposal
Lighting Design
The depth work that will be done with lighting design will primarily focus on the design of four spaces, the lobby, the capital market classroom, the auditorium, and the exterior facade. Design in this area will also touch on the classrooms and study lounges as these spaces will play a signifcant roll with the integration of day light in this building.

Electrical Design

The electrical design is satisfactory in meeting code requirements and the needs of the building. With the integration of day lighting into the building, I will recalculate the electrical demand due to the lighting redesign and day light integration. The new design will be in accordance to NEC 2001 standards.

Mechanical Breadth
Mechanical Breadth will analize the implications a day lighting system will have on this building. Where savings can be made in electrical savings, heat loses through mechanical means can negatively affect the building. Also, I will examine the affects power lose will have on the mechanical systems within the building.
Construction Management Breadth
With the significan changes that I plan to make in the electrical design and with the integration of a day lighting system, I will perform a cost analysis on the new system. After the cost analysis is performed, a payback period will be calculated to compare the cost benefits of the different systems.

User Note:
Note: 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 Brad Hartman. 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.
