= Introduction and Overview =

= Specifications =
New York University has commissioned your firm to redesign the old Jacobs Admistrative Building into a full college campus. The lot is approximately 200’ x 200'  and is bounded by Jay and Johnson Streets. The campus must include:
* Classrooms
** Four 40-student classrooms
** Two 20-student classrooms
** One 100-student lecture hall
* One recreational space
* Dorm rooms to accomodate 100 students
* One facility of choice
** Restaurant/Cafeteria, Gym, Tennis Court, etc.
Additionally, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC schematics must be completed for one recreational space, one dorm room, and one classroom. This includes all electrical wiring, air ducts, and pipes. Using these schematics, ‘’’cost of operation’’’ must be calculated for the entire facility. 

The campus must achieve a LEED accreditation of at least ‘’’Gold’’’ (four categories of the six categories). 

== Building Code ==
The new campus must adhere to the General Engineering Building Code as outlined below:
* Fire Code
** Each floor must be equipped with sprinkler heads and emergency evacuation stairs
** Fire alarms must be placed in each classroom, dorm hallway, and recreational space
*** Electrical wirings are not necessary
* Wheelchair Accessibility
** Each floor, classroom, and recreational space must be wheelchair accessible
** At least one bathroom stall per floor must be wheelchair accessible
* Security
** Every entrance and exit must be guarded by a 24/7 security guard with a desk and tap-in system
** Entrances to dorms must have a turnstile in addition to the standard security guard
* Structural Rules
** All doors must be at least 6 ft 8 in. tall and 32 in. wide
** All walls must be at least 8 ft tall

== LEED Accreditation ==
Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) is a green building certification program. To receive LEED certification, building projects satisfy prerequisites and earn points to achieve different levels of certification. Teams choose the best fit for their project. The different categories for the LEED checklist<ref name="checklist">[http://www.usgbc.org/resources/leed-v4-building-design-and-construction-current-version http://www.usgbc.org/resources/leed-v4-building-design-and-construction-current-version]</ref> correspond to principles of design, construction, and maintenance. For the purposes of this project, the checklist has been streamlined. All prerequisites from a category must be incorporated into the supermarket design to count toward certification. LEED Silver certification requires completion of at least two categories; LEED Gold, at least four categories, and LEED Platinum, all six categories. Achievement of each prerequisite will be accomplished through drawings, cost estimates, and explanations of the design.

Streamlined checklist:
# Location and Transportation
## Diverse land use (p.16<ref name="checklist"></ref>) – Design provides space for goods and services not directly related to the college campus. (Examples: cafe, gym, multi-purpose spaces for the public, etc.)
## Disability access – Detailed features are provided for Americans with Disability Act. (Examples: reserved parking, wheelchair accessible ramps)
## Bicycle and EV facilities (p.22<ref name="checklist"></ref>) – Bike racks and electric vehicle charging stations labeled in drawings.
## Reduced parking footprint (p.26<ref name="checklist"></ref>) – Realistic dimensions for parking spaces with minimal allocated space for parking lot if facility of choice is a parking area.
# Sustainable Sites
## Open space (p.36<ref name="checklist"></ref>) – Inclusion of green space on the campus grounds. (Examples: gardens, park space, rooftop vegetation, pond)
## Rainwater management (p.37<ref name="checklist"></ref>) – Reducing storm water runoff and built land impact on hydrologic cycle. (Examples: rainwater retention pond, rainwater storage, rainwater reuse)
## Heat island reduction (p.39<ref name="checklist"></ref>) – Minimizing paved and rooftop surfaces. (Examples: vegetative surfaces, trees, shade from energy generation systems)
## Light pollution reduction (p.41<ref name="checklist"></ref>) – Detailed placement of outdoor lighting fixtures, maximizing security and minimizing light pollution.
# Water Efficiency
## Water quality management – Real-time quality monitoring system, shutoff system for cases of contamination. 
## Water use reduction (p.51<ref name="checklist"></ref>) – Use of low flow appliances and minimal irrigation, details for all water uses. (Example: sprinklers, sinks, toilets)
## Water heating and cooling (p.60<ref name="checklist"></ref>) – Intelligent placement of high efficiency systems.
## Advanced water metering – Real-time quantity monitoring system of all water use. (Examples: irrigation, indoor plumbing, reclaimed water, boiler usage)
# Energy and Atmosphere
## Optimize energy performance (p.74<ref name="checklist"></ref>) – Use of low energy systems. (Examples: HVAC, lighting, refrigeration, appliances)
## Advanced energy metering (p.77<ref name="checklist"></ref>) – All electrical use run through a single meter. 
## Demand response (p.79<ref name="checklist"></ref>) – Energy use changes throughout the day.
## Renewable energy production (p.80<ref name="checklist"></ref>) – Location and connection to electrical system. (Examples: solar, wind, thermal) 
# Indoor Environmental Quality
## Air quality management (p.107<ref name="checklist"></ref>) – Ventilation and monitoring of air. (Examples: carbon monoxide detectors, exhaust vents, air filtration system)
## Interior lighting/daylight (p.129<ref name="checklist"></ref>) – Enhanced interior lighting. (Examples: dimmers, daylight, window shades)
## Thermal comfort (p.127<ref name="checklist"></ref>) – Enhanced temperature control for individual comfort. (Examples: localized heating and cooling, circulating fans, radiant flooring)
## Acoustic performance (p.136<ref name="checklist"></ref>) – Sound absorbent surfaces are greater than the ceiling area. (Examples: acoustic tiles, acoustic wall panels)
# Innovation (p.140<ref name="checklist"></ref>)
## Connected building – Design the campus for internet connectivity and connected devices. (Examples: Wi-Fi router, networked registers, inventory systems)
## Intelligent inventory – Real-time monitoring of inventory, if applicable. (Examples: shelves with sensors, database connected to registers, exit door scanners)
## Security and safety – Enhanced security technology. (Examples: automatic police contact, automatic fire contact, notifications)
## Sustainability – Focus on innovative green technologies not included in other categories.

== Power/AC/Heat Calculations ==
Using the information from electrical/plumbing/HVAC schematics, calculate the total power usage for operation of the campus per day. Then calculate the energy costs for a typical year. Determine the total A/C requirement. What is the dollar cost per year for air conditioning? Determine the total heat requirement. What is the dollar cost per year for heat? Tabulate this data neatly in a table, graph, or chart that presents the information clearly.

== Model ==
Design your campus using Autodesk Revit as your primary design tool. Create a convenient layout to accommodate the items listed in Specifications. Once the design is complete, generate a walk-through video of the campus and 3D print the exterior shell utilizing the EG Prototyping Lab. 

{{SLDP: Microsoft Project}}

== Drawings ==
The following paragraphs discuss the drawings required for the project using Revit. ‘’’No other software will be accepted for submission.’’’ Revit is free to download using your NYU email, and all computers in the EG Modelshop and NYU Tandon computer lab have full copies of the software. 

Consult the [[Media: Revit_How_To.pdf|Revit How-To Guide]] to create your college campus. The How-To Guide contains useful examples for designing your building, but ‘’’do not copy the instructions as they only serve as examples of the features available in Revit.’’’

Each floor of your campus must have an accompanying drawing. It must be fully dimensioned and include all aspects of the room design including:
* All door and window openings
* Material choices
* Furniture
* Lighting fixtures

All electrical, plumbing, and HVAC drawings must include:
* Wiring, outlets, switches, and light fixtures
* Sinks, toilets, and showerheads with hot water, cold water, and sewage pipes
* Air ducts for heating and cooling

== Schedules ==
Create a construction schedule using Microsoft Project. The items included in this schedule include:
* Clearing site
* Laying foundation
* Studs and structural members
* Wall construction and window installation
* Painting
* Electrical wiring and lighting installation
* Plumbing
* HVAC 

== Cost Estimate ==
Three separate tables (construction, operation, and labor) for cost estimation must be created using the following guidelines. 
=== Cost of Construction ===
Using the wholesale price of all materials and components in your design, calculate the total cost of construction (not including labor). Tabulate a materials list and generate a complete cost estimate for the entire campus. 

=== Cost of Operation ===
Calculate the total cost of operation per day and per year of the new campus. Tabulate energy usage and associated costs into a neatly organized table.

=== Labor ===
Calculate the total cost of labor for ‘’’construction of the campus.’’’ Do not include cost of labor for operation. Refer to the construction schedule to create this estimate. Neatly tabulate costs into a table.
