Working collaboratively with the owner, Engenium Group identified multiple capital improvement projects to help address the serious temperature complaints experienced in the facility. A qualitative evaluation matrix cost estimate helped optimize renovation scope to include new boilers, new air handling units, conversion of constant volume to variable volume systems, and replacement of perimeter induction units. Project included; design of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems including primary, central plant systems, and distribution systems.
Our mechanical team designed a conversion of the pneumatic control system to an electronic energy management system, specified two (2) new 100% outside air ventilation air handling units with total airflow of 55,000 cfm, incorporated a new 2-pipe perimeter induction unit system with primary airflow control, and designed for variable volume chilled and heating hot water systems with optimized temperatures. Additionally, the design included refurbished MEP systems serving the renovated entry lobby and bathroom cores.
Electrical scope on the project included new LED lighting, dimmable controls, and daylighting sequences. Lastly, our plumbing engineers provided design for a mew variable volume primary pumping system with redundant 15 H.P. pumps.
