Study of air handling systems for upgrades to historic structure. Design of systems for the Kinesiology Department laboratory. Remodel of the Densitometer laboratory.

Addition of an 800-ton absorption chilling central plant. Major piping throughout the facility and retrofits to 16 air handling units. DDC controls and Study of Air handling systems for retrofit. Renovation of the perimeter heating systems with addition of control valves, re-piping and DDC.

Replacement of boilers and upgrades to hot water piping and pumping system. Air handler retrofit, direct digital controls and chiller replacement.

Analysis and as-building of the central chilled water system. Recommen­dations for future improvement including primary/secondary pumping, direct digital controls, and optimal chiller selection.

Demolition of entire hot and cold water distribution system within the dormitory, including asbestos removal. Installation of new distribu­tion piping and insulation.

Problem building retrofit: variable speed drives, renovation of air handling units, balancing, and air distribution correctional measures.

Conversion of numerous multi-zone units to a single built-up variable air volume, dual duct system, direct digital controls. The numerous multi-zone units were replaced with a single dual-duct variable air volume system. The chilled water plant was consolidated into a single loop with parallel chilled water production and primary/secondary pumping which allows for scheduled maintenance and chilled water production backup capabilities. Overall, the retrofit will also save significant energy dollars to help offset the capitol cost of making the improvements.
