Mechanical and electrical engineering services for renovations at the existing 9,000 square foot school building located on the Morgan State University campus. The areas consisted of classrooms for kindergarten, toddlers and pre-school students as well as offices, restrooms, offices and computer rooms.
- The renovation area was divided into three comfort zones. Each comfort zone was served by a split air conditioning unit equipped with steam heating coil. The split air conditioning units consisted of an indoor air handling unit and an outdoor Condensing unit. Existing low pressure steam was utilized to feed the steam heating coils of the new AHUs. Existing window openings were used to locate louvers to provide the required ventilation air to the AHUs which serve areas with high occupancy.
