Project Information:
General Construction
It will be necessary to remove the existing ceiling in order to remove the air distribution system as required by this project. During the demolition process there will damage to adjacent wall and floor finishes. Money is being allocated for the repair and or replacement of the affected finishes.
The floor tile material in this building has been tested for asbestos and found to be positive. A plan and design for the removal of this material should be created and implemented.
Replace HVAC Systems
The building is conditioned by several original constant volume terminal reheat HVAC systems. The AHU's and ductwork are lined, the condensate pans and CHW coil framing are corroded, and the systems have reached the end-of-service life. Replace all HVAC systems with VAV-reheat systems, including enthalpy recovery ventilation air preconditioning systems. Replace all ductwork. Include ceiling replacement.
Replace Air Cooled Condensers
The environmental chambers are served by air-cooled compressor/condensers that are located above ceilings, adding heat to the interior. Replace these units with water-cooled models and provide CHW piping as required. Include CHW piping to the still in the penthouse in another project.
Asbestos Abatement - Mechanical
Asbestos insulations are present on various heating water piping and equipment. Remove this material prior to the HVAC renovation.
Lighting
The existing lighting system must be removed coincident with complete HVAC and Ceiling replacement. This project provides for Luminaries fitted with T-8 or T-5 lamps and electronic ballasts. Motion sensors should be used in appropriate rooms for additional energy conservation. |
