Breadths
1- Acoustical Impact:
The geothermal system is the proposed alternative system for the GCCIT building. Since the building is acoustically sensitive, changing the system to geothermal requires the change of the distribution system to heat pumps which might cause air and structure born noises. Therefore, an acoustical analysis will be performed to study the effect of the new system and to find solutions to reduce the noise that might be generated.
2- Construction management
The geothermal system proposed as an alternative system to the GCIT building will require instillation of the geothermal components in the west garden. This will require planning, scheduling, logistics and cost analysis. Hence, an analysis will be performed to generate clear plans and schedules for instillation.
