| It is through the formation of various hypotheses that we chart our course of investigation into Shoup Hall. As a group we developed three different hypotheses that deal mainly with heat gain, glare issues, building construction, and sustainability. Follow the links below to discover our areas of study and emphasis, and then check out the methods used to discover the answers, as well as what we were able to understand as a result of all these investigations. |  |

Hypothesis
1:
Shoup Hall provides comfortable* ventilation and temperatures for users. |
"So just what are we studying in Shoup Hall guys?" |
||||||||||
| Hypothesis
2:
There is a substantial glare issue (20:1) at the north end of the corridors, the classrooms, and the offices. |
|||||||||||
| Hypothesis
3:
Shoup Hall is able to produce 100% of the energy it needs to operate. |
|||||||||||
| The outdoor temperature
during the readings ranged from 52 degrees Fahrenheit, and wind velocities
ranged from 0 fpm-247 fpm because of strong gusts, sky conditions are shown
with each methodology.
