1. Senior Thesis Presentation: The Westlake Recreation Center Summer Padgett Faculty Advisor: Dr. Mistrick Westlake Recreation Center Westlake, Ohio Electrical / Lighting Option April 13th, 2004

2. Building Information Building Information: • This facility serves as a park and recreation center for the citizens of Westlake. • Total Building Area: 82,710 ft2 • Total cost of the construction: $15.3 million dollars • Features four swimming pools, a gymnasium, locker rooms, a fitness room, a multi-purpose room, a babysitting room, a community room and recreation department offices.

3. Discussion Topics LIGHTING • Redesign of the lighting and controls systems for 3 indoor spaces ELECTRICAL • Addition of a generator so that the gym may be used as an emergency shelter and the corresponding load redistribution and emergency panel addition CM • Cost analysis of a power factor correction HVAC • Mechanical analysis of adding a more efficient glazing to the windows in one of my spaces

4. LIGHTING – Lobby • Total Ceiling Height: 27’-0” SURFACES • Reflective Wood Ceiling:   0.6 • Burnt Sienna Quarry Floor Tiles:   0.23 • Alkyd Eggshell Walls:   0.5 • Windows:   0.73

5. LIGHTING – Lobby Main Entrance LOUNGE AREA Reception Area LOBBY SNACK AREA Stairs to Mezzanine

6. LIGHTING – Lobby Design Issues: • Daylight Design Ideas: • Since the ceiling is so high, I wanted to choose lighting that would bring it down some to make the lobby more inviting • Warm up the reception area so people will be drawn towards it • Carry in the fixture theme from outside

7. LIGHTING – Lobby Equipment Selection: Reception Area: • 2’x2’ Fluorescent Troffers over the desks • Fluorescent Wallwashers on back wall • Mini-Pendants lining the exterior of the desk • CFL Downlights where the ceiling is lower in front Lobby: • Arm-mounted sconces • Metal Halide Pendants • Downlights in the sitting area up the stairs • Sconces lining the brick wall going up the stairs

8. LIGHTING – Lobby Renderings and Light Levels: * THIS SLIDE STILL NEEDS WORK – LIGHT CALCS NOT YET COMPLETE - MAY NEED TWO SLIDES TO SHOW RENDERINGS – DAYLIGHT RENDERINGS MAY ALSO BE SHOWN HERE

9. LIGHTING – Lobby Renderings and Light Levels: * UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!

10. LIGHTING – Lobby Renderings and Light Levels: * UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!

11. LIGHTING – Community Room • Total Ceiling Height: 13’-3” SURFACES • Ceiling:   0.78 • Carpet Floor:   0.15 • Alkyd Eggshell Walls:   0.5 • Windows:   0.73

12. LIGHTING – Community Room Windows 4 coves Main Entrances Windows Round tables throughout the room Moveable partition Windows

13. LIGHTING – Community Room Design Issues: • Daylight Design Ideas: • Make the room less formal looking, more business-like • Flush Ceiling

14. LIGHTING – Community Room Equipment Selection: Option 1: • Less Formal Indirect/Direct Pendants hanging from coves • CFL Downlights throughout the room • Wall Sconces Option 2: • Fluorescent strips in coves • Small low-voltage MR16 downlights in coves • Wall Sconces * All bulbs 3000K

18. LIGHTING – Multi-Purpose Room • Total Ceiling Height: 13’-0” around perimeter then slopes to 24’-0” SURFACES • Wood Ceiling:   0.2 • Northern Hard Maple Floor:   0.75 • Alkyd Eggshell Walls:   0.5 • Windows:   0.73

19. LIGHTING – Multi-Purpose Room Entrance from exterior Entrance from interior Skylight in center Sloped, wood ceiling Ballet bars with full- length mirrors on 3 of the walls

20. LIGHTING – Multi-Purpose Room Design Issues: • Daylight Design Ideas: • Incorporate lighting that will not create a lot of glare on the highly reflective floor • Make the dance studio more inviting by adding some pendants

21. LIGHTING – Multi-Purpose Room Equipment Selection: • Direct/Indirect pendants to hang from the start of the skylight • CFL Downlights around the perimeter the room • Wall Sconces • Fluorescent strips in the coves * All bulbs 3000K

22. LIGHTING – Multi-Purpose Room Renderings and Light Levels: * THIS SLIDE STILL NEEDS WORK – LIGHT CALCS NOT YET COMPLETE - MAY NEED TWO SLIDES TO SHOW RENDERINGS

25. ELECTRICAL – GENERATOR ADDITION LOAD REDISTRIBUTION PROCESS: 1) Determined Essential Loads: • Gym lighting, receptacles • Locker room lighting, receptacles • Kitchen Lighting, Receptacles, and Equipment – Refrigerator, ovens, microwaves • HVAC equipment that services these areas 2) Sized a generator and emergency transfer switch based on the calculated loads (taking all demand factors into account) 3) Selected an emergency panel 4) Located generator 25’ from side of building (NEC code)

26. ELECTRICAL – GENERATOR ADDITION • The selected equipment will appear here with an explanation of why it was chosen • A map of the gym in relation to the exits, locker rooms and kitchen will also be shown here

27. CM – PF CORRECTION *Analyzed the financial impact of a power factor correction based off of 12 months worth of utility bills PROCESS • PF = cos [tan-1(rKVA Demand/Measured KVA load)] • Calculated the PF for all 12 months Medium General Service Schedule: REACTIVE DEMAND CHARGE = $0.48 per rKVA • Reactive billing demand = KW*(kVAR Hours/ kW Hours) – 30 • Actual cost per month = Reactive billing demand*($0.48 / hour)

28. CM – PF CORRECTION PROCESS (continued): 6) With the existing and desired power factors use the capacitor correction table to find a multiplier 7) Multiply the building’s electrical load by this number to get the KVAR of capacitors required RESULTS: Total KVAR cost for 2002: $1691.15 100 KVAR of capacitors needed to correct PF Cost of 100 KVAR capacitor = $828 (Sprague Corp.) Total savings for one year = $863.15 *Almost an immediate payback!!

29. HVAC – MECHANICAL BREADTH Here I plan to show the results of a mechanical energy analysis when a more efficient glazing is used on the windows in the lobby CURRENT GLAZING PROPERTIES: 1. Shading Coefficient: 0.81 2. Visible Light Transmittance: 73 percent 3. Visible Light Reflectance: 17 percent 4. Summer Value: 0.38 5.  Winter U Value: 0.35

30. HVAC – MECHANICAL BREADTH Here I will show the new glazing properties and heat load calculations
