and direct-fired heating system for state livestock showroom facility.
System uses internal pressure sensors to adjust exhaust fan VFD to keep
internal pressure negative so that particulates are adequately diluted;
evaporative cooling system supplies cool draft in summer and costs less
than air conditioning of large indoor space that does not require comfort
cooling. Performed LCCA to determine best alternative for design options
as requested by NC State Construction Office.
. Resnick Medical Office (< 2000 sq.ft.) - HVAC design of medical office in
Charlotte that uses VVT/Bypass damper zone temperature control system and
packaged RTU with natural gas.
