User 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 Jason Greer. 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.
 
Research

2005 National Electric Code. Nation Fire Protection Association. 2005.
 -The NEC aided in all electrical requirements for the building. All equipment sizing was done using the NEC.

ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004. American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning
Engineers, Inc. Atlanta, Ga. 2004
-ASHRAE was used to determine all lighting power density values.

CMD Group. Romans Electrical Cost Data 2008. Kensington, MA. R.S. Means Company, Inc.,
2008.
-RS Means was used for equipment pricing for both electrical depth and acoustical breadth.

Hughes, David. Electrical Systems in Buildings. Delmar Publishers Inc. Albany, NY. 1988.
-This source was used in conjuntion with the NEC. Also, it was used when performing short circuit calculations.

Long, Marshall. Architectural Acoustics. Elsevier Inc. Burlinton, MA. 2006.
-This source was used in determining reverberation time and acoustical material properties.

Mehta, Madan, et. al. Architectural Acoustics: Principles and Design. Prentice-Hall, Inc. Upper
Saddle River, New Jersey. 1999.
-This source was used in determining reverberation time and acoustical material properties.

Rae, Mark S., ed. The IESNA Lighting Handbook: Reference & Application, Ninth Edition.
Illuminating Engineering Society of North America. New York. 2000.
-This source was used to determine target illuminance levels for all spaces and their design criteria.

  
             
  The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web‐based project and information center. It contains material produced for a year‐long Senior Thesis class. Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering.
