Steel & Brick Veneer Building Details

Wall Section

Includes the design of a parapet, a canopy, a glazed curtain wall system, and a cantilever.

Canopy Detail

A steel I-beam is used to support a thin layer of glazing which protects the building’s facade. An aluminum curtain wall system is also attached to the structure. The system is designed to minimize thermal bridging due to the conductivity of metal.

Design DevelopmentDesigning a set of module bays to work with the apparatus while thinking about ways daylight may enter the building at different levels.

Exploring ways fire fighters can “live above the office” in a traditional form.

Design Development

The Hallway

A large hallway on the upper floor connects every space in the fire fighter’s living quarters to quick emergency response as they make their way down to the apparatus bays.

The Gym

Designed with a double height space for maximum ventilation. Visual connections to the park and the fire figher’s private courtyard.

Gallery Narrative

The journey through the galleries in the Civic Center’s museum of architecture. The lower levels begin by introducing visitors to the timeline of architecture and then progress to architectural lessons as guests rise up in the building. The experience culmi-nates with a gallery on north-west regional architecture and the Portland skyline.

Porterville Courthouse Lighting Project

Illuminance

Measuring footcandles to compare to IESNA (Illuminating Engineering Society of North America) recommended lighting levels.

For this research project I was commissioned to manage and lead a team to conduct a lighting study on the Porterville Courthouse. We published our study in a 40 page report. The client was CO Architects.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) Imagery

Creating images that can be analyzed to better understand the distinction between a range of candelas per square meter.

Luminance

Measuring and analyzing the potential for glare.

Courtyard Daylight Availability

Using the Solmetric SunEye 210 to help us determine the solar path around the courtyard and how much daylight it receives through-out the year.

Chapman Hall Plug Load ProjectFor this research project I was commissioned to manage and lead a team to conduct a lighting study on the Porterville Courthouse. We published our study in a 40 page report. The client was CO Architects.

During the spring of 2014, I was on a 3 person team that studied plug loads in Chapman Hall. The project won 1st place in a grant competition and was nationally recognized by ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers). I was commissioned to manage a team to produce a film of the study and make multiple presentations to firms and conventions about the project.

Faculty and Staff of Chapman Hall use about 28,525 kWh/year which costs the University of Oregon $3,423/year.

Chapman Hall uses about 32,475 kWh/year.

Chapman Hall’s Energy Usage Index

Understanding how Chapman Hall uses energy to function. 10 - 15% of the building’s consumed energy comes from plug loads.

Data Logger Graphs

We were able to understand the energy consumption of faculty by using Watts Up Pro dataloggers.

Electronic Device Survey

We surveyed faculty to understand what types of devices they were using.

Presentation at the ASHRAE Convention in Chicago

I was commissioned to present our research in front of 300 engineering professionals and students at the ASHRAE Convention in Chicago.
