2. Issues the design needs to address:
   • Mechanical: HVAC
     • 5 tons (estimate):
       • equipment 4180W (see electrical below) (1.2 tons)
       • lighting: 1540W (see lighting below) (0.5 tons)
       • people: 20 max @ 300 BTUH = 6000 BTUH (0.5 tons)
       • environmental: ? BTUH
       • watts * 3.412 BTUH/W / 12,000 tons/BTUH = tons
     • locate condenser and air vent on quad level
     • low-noise unit
     • 90 degree angles in ducts - reduce noise
     • oversized air ducts - reduce noise

   • Electrical
     • PCs: 4 @ 350W = 1400W
     • projectors 3 @ 360W = 1080W
     • Gentner: 30W
     • cameras/mics/speakers: 500W (estimate)
     • participant laptops: 8 @ 150W = 1200W
     • total equipment: 4180W (38 amps)
     • lighting: 1540W (13 amps)
     • HVAC: ?

   • Architectural
     • room dimensions (28' by 24' - 700 sq ft estimate)
     • design room with minimal number of right angles
     • build out display wall to match pillars
     • flooring and cable runs
       • 2x4 raised floor - not needed
       • core bores for network, electrical, mics (desk,lapel)
       • replace carpet
       • Paint - A medium blue with a slight wash of light works well for a video background.
       • StageRightŪ portable (rolling) stage
     • Demolition:
       • get rid of sink
       • insulate storage room wall
       • ceiling and light fixtures
       • cap existing air ducts

   • Lighting ($12,620 not including installation)
     • BrightLines T-series and Mini-T
     • Lighting Diagram: pdf dwg
     • Bill of Materials: pdf
