Proposal
Mechanical Proposal
NMUSA contains many noise sensitive spaces. To ensure the noise does not travel between rooms an analysis of the NC of each room will be conducted. My proposed mechanical ideas will have an impact on the ductwork within the museum. To ensure my proposed changes don’t have any adverse effects, it is necessary to analyze the acoustics of NMUSA.
Acoustical Breadth
Changes within the mechanical system have a large impact on the electrical system. The addition of a ground source heat pump will require the addition of extra pumps and heat exchangers, which will all require additional electrical energy. Depending on the number and size of these pieces of equipment, it is necessary to analyze the electrical system to properly upsize any equipment that is directly affected by these changes.
