for the interior spaces. The VAV terminal units distribute the supply air through low pressure sheet metal ductwork to ceiling mounted diffusers throughout the building. Diffusers can be arranged in various configurations to meet the tenant’s requirements. Each VAV AHU has an economizer cycle providing additional energy savings. The AHUs and VAV terminal units provide continuously filtered tempered air. Positive building ventilation is provided by the AHUs to assure a fresh inside environment. Building heating is accomplished by perimeter hot water finned tube baseboard heaters supplied from the building hydronic heating system. The temperature of each unit is controlled by perimeter thermostats. The hot water used within the hydronic heating system is generated by high-efficiency gas-fired boilers, each of which has additional capacity for reliability and economic control operation. This assures an even “blanket” of heat at the exterior wall and glass. A building “morning warm-up” cycle is accomplished via AHU hot water heating coils and optimized start programming to provide further energy savings and assure building comfort at morning occupancy.

The overall heating, ventilating and air conditioning system serving the building is monitored and controlled by a direct digital computer based control system. The control system automatically coordinates the function of all mechanical components to assure economical and reliable operation. The system may be monitored within the building and remotely for failures of equipment or operating criteria outside of pre-set levels. The HVAC system is designed to maintain a 72º Fahrenheit temperature (+/- 2º) with summertime relative humidity levels at 50% with a 5% +/- variance. The building has a night set back mode whereby interior temperatures will seasonally vary outside the target temperature.
