ALCOA: EAST HALLS RENOVATION EDSGN 100 Section 008 12/9/13 Eddie Taddei Daniel Guarracino Richard Hayward Nicholas Kappeler Brianna Haglan

Table of Contents The Opportunity Background Information Conditions & Objectives Collective Creative Ideas Evaluation Analysis Prototype Conclusion

ALCOA The company… The product… Leading producer of aluminum Largest miner of bauxite Largest refiner of alumina Involved in multiple markets Infinitely recyclable Hall-Heroult Process *Properties of Aluminum Light weight Corrosion resistance Conductivity Reflectivity Recyclability

Why are we here today? Penn State & Sustainability Identify campus opportunities Examine inputs & outputs Take advantage of aluminum’s intrinsic properties Increase efficiency or sustainability Opportunity: to increase sustainability by using aluminum and taking advantage of the upcoming east halls renovation

East Halls Built over 60 years ago in the 1950s Comprised of 15 buildings, ranging in size,layout, and energy usage Last year’s East Halls energy usage data shows that all fifteen halls used a total of 5.1 million kWh of energy, with an average energy per building of 339,836 kWh Hastings Hall (average building assumption) A look at a recent energy consumption will give us an estimation as to how much energy our solution will need to save over the course of its lifetime

The opportunity at hand… Customer Needs Students Not enough natural lighting in dorms North and south facing OPP Increase sustainability Increase attractiveness of living area Decrease energy consumption Implement student ideas Alcoa Expand market and advertise products “Mine” ideas

Who does this project affect? Stakeholders Alcoa Penn State OPP Students/RAs Construction contractors Legal Departments Researchers Environmental groups Waste Management Local Centre County residents Local businesses

Project Guidelines Efficiency/ Sustainability Marketability Must use less energy than previous solutions >60.8 kilowatt-hours Marketability Feasible implementation within 5 years Cost-Effective Cost of design < cost of electricity saved from design Safety Must meet OPP safety codes

Evaluate Ideas Table 3. Concept Scoring

Analysis The light reflectors were chosen due to their feasible implementation. Their simplistic design makes them durable and sustainable They had the highest rate of return on the investment Light reflector maintenance is easy to learn Design can be retrofitted to fit different sized areas Available in depths up to a maximum projection of 30 inches (762mm) and a maximum span of 72 inches (1828mm) LEEDs certified in three categories Materials & Resources-Recycled Content Energy & Atmosphere – Optimize Energy Performance and Indoor Environmental Quality – Daylight and Views
