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 Kristin Maruszewski. 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.

FULL REPORT

Above is a link to my full thesis report. The report includes a lighting
redesign for the Foyer, Library, Chapel, and Courtyard of the St. Francis
Friary. The mechanical portion of this report investigates the use of a
geothermal system. The electrical portion calculates the new lighting and
mechanical loads as well as evaluates the benefits of using aluminum verses
copper feeders. The last portion of the report is the construction management
portion. This discusses the impact of using a geothermal system on the
project site, schedule, and cost.
