3.3.3 Prototypes B1 and C1

Prototypes B1 and C1 are both single story, large floor plate buildings. Prototype B1 measures 200 ft x 200 ft with an 18 ft height and a 4 ft plenum. Prototype C1 measures 400 ft x 400 ft with a 24 ft height and no plenum. Figure 3.3.3-1 is a visual image of the two prototypes. Prototypes B1 and C1 each have fenestration on just one side. Prototype B1 has a store front glazing system that is 8 ft high by 80 ft wide. Prototype C1 has a store front glazing system that is 8 ft high by 160 ft wide. Both curtain wall systems have an horizontal overhang located at the top of the glazing that extends a distance of 8 ft. Both prototypes have mass walls (8 inch solid grouted CMU blocks, interior insulation and gypsum board). Detailed specifications for each of the prototype building models are presented in spreadsheets included in Appendix E.
