Structure,  energy and systems study

Team work

 

This is a team project directed by Peter Yeadon in the Energy and Systems class in RISD. We analyzed both the old building structures and building systems of the new added theater. My group is in charge of the Mechanical System. My responsibility is the four RTU (roof top units) and the ducts connect with them.

 

From reading building documents to modeling all the specific details, I gained deep knowledge about how the system serves the fresh air, provides cooling or heating when it is needed and also the relationships between the size of ducts and noise generated from exhausting. In addition, it is a valuable experience that working with a big team and coordinating all our files and combining them together.
