Excerpt from Study and Design of Tall Office Building Power Plant: A Thesis Presented
The power plant chosen for this Thesis represents the most modem of office building power plant installations.
The Heyworth Building constructed this year, rises eighteen stories and attic above, with three separate basements below the City street level. The building situated at the Southwest corner of Madison Street and Wabash Avenue extends along the former street a distance of one hundred ninety six feet and along the latter one hundred feet. It has thus fully exposed sides to the North and East and with an alley on the West side is only slightly protected on that side from the weather. Above the tenth floor the building is entirely exposed on all sides. The first basement, the floor of which is fourteen feet below the street level, is occupied by a restaurant, while the two sub-basements, each twelve feet in heighth, are partially occupied by the power plant.
Electric lighting, heating and elevator service, are the chief consumers of power, and it was the object of this Thesis to become familiarly acquainted with the location and manipulation of the machinery and to offer a duplicate detailed design of the plant.
Six plates of drawings are enclosed in this Thesis, titled as follows:
Plate 1. Preliminary project.
Plate 2. Detailed plan of steam and exhaust piping.
Plate 3. Detailed elevation of steam and exhaust piping.
