Installation of 230 tons of cooling to accommodate building ventilation requirements.
challenge
In 2018, ComEd North, the electric utility company, supported its commitment to education with the build out of a new 105,000 sq. ft., three story office building and STEM Center in Chicago. In order to meet the building’s ventilation requirements, they brought CT Mechanical to the table to take on tons of heating and cooling work—230 tons, to be exact.
solution
To provide refreshing HVAC throughout ComEd North’s new building, it was our job to install about 100 tons of traditional AHU VAV system along with about 130 tons of VRF condensing units with over 150 evaporators. With the traditional system installation, along with newer technology, we were able to help the entire building breathe easy.
results
When our work was complete, our installation met the design and efficiency requirements to be certified Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum, the highest possible green building certification.
