Ceiling Design Project Team Briggs Mike Taptich Dan Uniatowski Dana Kubinak Ryan Peel Drew Skupien
Mission Statement • Natural sunlight will be an important factor in daytime illumination in order to conserve energy. • Our goal is to create a ceiling design that will be safe, functional, innovative, use natural sunlight, and will provide sound dampening qualities.
Target Audience • Warmer Climates • High Ceilings • Libraries • Malls • Art galleries / museums • Banks • Entrance halls
Customer Needs • Safety • Complies with existing building codes which address fire and seismic performance • Sound Dampening • Low Cost Installation • Energy Efficient • Futuristic, i.e. Innovative
Design Concept 1 Stainless steel frame • Small panels • Optimal for glass blocks • Stainless steel frame with recessed panels • Natural lighting • Honeycomb sound dampening quality in frame Small glass panels
Design Concept 2 Aluminum Frame • Large panels • Optimal for glass sheets • Aluminum frame • Cost efficient • Simple • Natural lighting Larger glass panels
Design Concept 3 LEDs in cross section of frame • Innovative, LED lighting • Seldom replacement • Energy saving • Not for whole room illumination • Steel frame • Recesses allowing LED placement • Strong and sturdy • Large panels • Optimal for glass sheets • Cost efficient Steel frame
Design Concept 4 Track lighting on frame • Track lighting • Brushed Aluminum frame • Holds track lights • Large panels • Optimal for glass sheets • Cost efficient Large glass panels Brushed Aluminum Frame
Final Panel Design Mates to fit frame together Steel beams in framing LED lighting length of beam Glass fits in
Glass Concepts • Glass Block • Clear Panel • Frosted Panel • Clear Concave Panel • Laminated Glass
DuPont™ SentryGlas® Plus • Safety • Sound dampening • Energy efficient • Allows new age design • Easy to install
Safety • Laminated glass absorbs energy of the impact • Ordinary window glass is brittle and breaks into long sharp pieces • Will not shatter • Holds up against • hurricanes • cyclones • earthquakes
Sound Dampening • Reduces the transmission of noises through the glass • Interlayer focuses on sound dampening • 1,000 to 3,000 Hz. (range of humans) • Dampens sound at an average of 7.2dB • changes the noise a thunderstorm to a moderate rain
Energy Efficient • Too much sunlight can also mean too much heat • Tinted laminated glass reflects light to reduce heat gain • SentryGlas® can absorb up to 89.9% UV Rays • Lower air conditioning and energy costs
