Welcome to Jayme's AE Senior Thesis e-Portfolio
Thesis Proposal
During the Spring Semester, I will be recalculating the heating and cooling loads within the Philadelphia School District Administration Headquarters. Once this is done, the same equipment will be used to analyze the energy and cost savings due to a reduced load. Research on designing a chiller plant will be conducted with the hope of designing a central chiller plant for the building. Steam heat will also be analyzed.With all building systems integrated, I would like to explore the electrical side of these systems. Resizing equipment and comparing cost will be one focus of the breadth work. Another will be constructability. Are there better places to locate the current air handling units? And where can the chiller plant be located without causing noise problems?
