The mechanical design for this project included an air-source Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system and packaged rooftop equipment for select spaces. Continuous exhaust and ventilation requirements for the building are maintained by Energy Recovery Units, which provide energy savings during the building’s 24/7/365 operating hours. All HVAC equipment was integrated into a central controller for scheduling, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Domestic hot water was provided by electric water heaters. Fire protection was provided by a wet-pipe sprinkler system and a clean-agent suppression system, which protected the 911 dispatch area and related electronics. The electrical systems consisted of creative lighting designs and energy-efficient lighting. The building incorporated a wireless data network infrastructure and a digital CCTV camera system.
