Assignment 5 Grades and Comments

Hi Everyone!

      I have graded your A5 submissions and, like the previous assignment, saw a very high average in the A range.  For the most part, every system was discussed in good detail that warranted full points.  One of the most common issues that resulted in a loss of points was the lack of discussion in the numeric parameters section.  This part was given 30 points, and full points were not provided unless you discussed each of the presented parameters and how it effects system design.  Other than that, there were minor points deducted for things like not mentioning the class definition of a system for each HVAC system analyzed.  When working on your decision matrix for A6, I know it is easy to disregard a lot of these secondary systems for popular systems like VAV, CAV, Rooftop Package, etc., but take what you have learned about the advantages to things like chilled beam, geothermal, and other less conventional systems to cater your matrix to potential consider these systems as well.

     If you want to resubmit your A5 for 2/3 of the points back, re-submissions are due next week, Wednesday November 9th, at midnight to my email, amm543@drexel.edu.  As always, if you all have any questions, please let me know!  If not, have a great week!
