Project Highlights & Results

Assessment identified and evaluated alternatives to replace 228 Packaged
Terminal Air Conditioning (PTAC) units in historic 1920s high-rise building to
enhance operation, temperature control, and efficiency
In-depth survey of existing conditions was necessitated by the need to create
vertical paths for new DOAS infrastructure and confirm above ceiling conditions for
routing new ductwork
Completed design for replacement includes a new water cooled Variable Refrigerant
Flow (VRF) system incorporating a new Dedicated Outside Air System (DOAS) for
mechanical ventilation
Phased design approach allows building occupancy throughout construction
