SCOPE OF MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING WORK
Mechanical System:
- Heating and ventilation is provided by a variable refrigerant flow system with in floor radiant heat in the garage bays. Hot water for the system is produced by three Lochinvar 95% efficient condensing boilers.
- Outdoor air ventilation is provided by dedicated energy recovery units which temper the ventilation air with building exhaust air.
Plumbing System:
Domestic water supply systems are designed with low flow fixtures and high efficiency low flow water closets. The Design Phase water model predicts domestic water savings in excess of 30% compared to the Energy Policy Act of 1992.
Domestic hot water is produced via two 96% efficient condensing tank type water heaters. The heaters are set to 140°F and provide a point of thermal disinfection within the domestic water system. The 120°F building delivery temperature is maintained with a central master mixing valve.
- Backflow preventers for the fire protection system, domestic water system, and domestic water meter are housed in a prefabricated, heated, insulated, metal utility box.
Electrical System:
- Lighting is comprised of energy efficient light fixtures in accordance with IES recommendations and standards and the Energy Conservation Construction Code of New York State. LED luminaires were provided through-out the building interior as well as exterior, and chosen for their exceptional energy efficiency and long life span.
