Final Report:

My final report for my AE senior thesis consists of the redesign of the electrical lighting as well as distribution systems primarily regarding four spaces; the Tiered Classroom, Library, Roof Garden, and Student Gathering. Additional material includes Electrical analyses of efficient transformers and redesign of the current phtovoltaic system, as well as architectural, structural, and mechanical breadths for newly proposed skylights in two of the main spaces (Library and Student Gathering).

Technical Report One:

This report analyzes the current lighting design for Gateway Community College as done by Horton Lees Brogden Lighting Design in New York City. Four spaces critiqued include Student Gathering, Library, Roof Garden, and Tiered Classroom. As a whole, the lighting design is cohesive towards the architect's vision as well as IESNA and ASHRAE criteria. Download PDF document below:

Technical Report Two:

This report analyzes the current electrical distribution design for Gateway Community College as done by BVH Engineers
Integrated Services. Included in the report is a summary of electrical loading and distribution equipment used in GCC. Final results show that the existing design is relatively typical for a building in New Haven Connecticut, but incorporates some special features (such as photovoltaic panels) in accordance with GCC's LEED rating.
