Pre-Existing Building Conditions
•
Five story building, about 80,000 sq.ft.
•
Originally constructed as a school
•
Home to 26 County Departments
•
Perimeter baseboard heating via 2 aged sectional boilers
•
Cooling via a 30 ton RTU, AHU, and Liebert for data center
•
No existing EMS
– RTU cycled on/off manually
– AHU supply fan had catastrophically failed – RAF used to supply air
– Chiller for AHU controlled by manually altering the chilled water supply T
– No zone valves for heating – manually controlled
