CHAPTER 4
 RESULTS

 In order to accumulate the appropriate data for the life cycle comparison, three

different classifications of construction were chosen within the same building genre;

higher education classroom/administration. The three structures chosen are as follows:

Table 4-1. Building Properties

Year Completed 2002 2002 2001
Building SF 48.906 47,757 53,543
Total Horsepower 193 96.64 *165
*Building horsepower for Rinker Hall and Frazier Rogers Hall is variable, ratings are for peak horsepower
and actual operating power may be quite lower.

 For this study, the term Building Horsepower refers to the total base horsepower

associated with the mechanical systems housed within each structure. These systems

include air handling units, fans, water pumps, and hot water heating units.
