Go Green
Revise Building Plans
Introduction
In the past few years the concept of going green has become a phenomenon. People throughout the country are increasing their effects to “go green.” Many colleges and university are taking the proper steps to do so too. In the effects of trying to make Augusta Technical College “Go Green.” I have to decided to revise the energy plans to make the 800 building more energy efficient. By knowing the current energy plans, setting requirements for HVAC air and heating, and knowing the insulation needs are the primary steps to maximizing energy saving and decreasing energy lost.
Findings
The first way that I plan to make the 800 building at Augusta Technical College energy efficient is by knowing the current energy plans. To locate the plans to you must go to the website http://www.fpm.gastate.edu/utilities/bldg_energy_plans/default.com. Once the current energy plans are found you can consult with the ICC (International Code Council). “The International Code Council provides a plan review services to all design professionals (ICC).” “This service includes prompt and technically-comprehensive review of drawings and construction documents based on ICC’s international codes or legacacy codes (BOCA, ICBO, SBCCI). (ICC)” “At a cost of $6,000 dollars this includes mechanical, plumbing, electrical, accessibility, energy conversion and five protection systems (ICC).” Once you have received your detail checked of code compliance and violation you can precede with your next step.
The second way that I plan to make the 800 building more energy efficient is to know the requirements for HVAC air and heating setting for colleges and universities. According to Iowa State University all College and Universities standards are all the same unless occupants change. “The standard setting is 74 degrees during winter months 7 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday- Friday and 68 degrees during the summer months 7 a.m. -6 p.m. Monday- Friday.” (Rakin) If you
