This proposal will include the topics I will be researching for the spring portion of my thesis. You will find that while I research the architectural engineering design areas of Lighting, Electrical, Mechanical, Structural, and the Construction Management of the building, there will be a common theme and approach to my research. I will investigate the vicinities through a Green Design Building approach, heavily focusing on Sustainability.

The purpose of this proposal is to present topics and ideas for areas of potential building analysis and research relating to the Construction Industry. Each topic will address at least one of the five core areas of investigation (Value Engineering, Constructability, Schedule Reduction, Research & Developing Methods, and System Integration). The matrix below shows a proposal of the weighted percentage of time I will put forth for each topic.

Within this proposal, background information on each topic will be discussed. I will then address the problems or situations and the analyzes I will carried out to investigate alternatives/solutions.
