Technical Assignments
ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2004, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality.
This Technical Assignment analyzes the minimum outdoor air requirements needed to provide adequate ventilation.
Executive SummaryThis report contains the building and plant analysis for the Center for the Arts on the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware. The building is analyzed for compliance with the LEED Green Building Certification System and Standard 90.1-2004 building envelope and lighting power density sections. This report also examines the lost rentable space due to mechanical system spaces and well as the mechanical system first costs. Load and energy estimates were performed by Trace Trane 700 to determine annual energy consumption and costs. The energy consumption data is also used to determine the emissions associated with operation of the building.
This report contains an analysis of the existing conditions of the mechanical systems designed for the Center for the Arts on the University of Delaware campus. Also as part of this report is a brief summary of the previous Technical assignments, the compliance of the Center for the Arts to ASHRAE Standard 62, and the heating and cooling loads and energy analysis determined using Trane TRACE 700.
