JBLM Decentralization Design

This project consisted of developing conceptual designs to decentralize heating and cooling plants at multiple facilities at JBLM. The project addressed the need to evaluate and select building mechanical systems with stronger consideration for energy use, life cycle cost, and environmental impact. It focused on developing a mechanical design and assessment capability grounded in heat transfer, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics to compare system options, perform load calculations, model energy performance, and identify opportunities to reduce or recapture energy. The work included system selection, design layout in CAD or BIM software where available, and supporting calculations, drawings, and reports, providing a structured basis for understanding facility mechanical design and its effect on carbon footprint.
