The file CO2.txt, found on Blackboard with this assignment, contains 50 numbers, which represent the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (parts per million) recorded at Mauna Loa, HI. The data in the file are the CO2 values on May 15th of each year from 1961 through 2010, (with background level CO2 removed). Fit an exponential model. Use the model to predict the CO2 value for May 15, 2015. Print the result to the screen using fprintf. The actual value was 125.1ppm.

Your company has been awarded a contract for 5-story addition on top of an existing 10-story hospital tower at a Cancer Center located in one of the most populated areas of Dallas, Texas. The existing hospital building is beyond 100% occupancy. The company was hired under a design-build contract to complete the $220 million project. Wind-load testing will be conducted. The wind-resisting system will be modified to redistribute loads on the mat foundation. High-strength concrete will be utilized for the addition's floors and columns (to reduce the load). The new mechanical level will be relocated from an upper floor to the floor just above the hospital's existing roof level. Glass fiber reinforced concrete cladding matching the original building's precast concrete façade (but at about one-quarter the weight) is specified in the design. The duration of the project is three-year.
Can you guys help me find the mechanical and electrical system hazards in this problem?!
And what would be the control strategies for them.
