Collaborative Approach Enables Seamless Integration of High-Performing HVAC Systems into Historic K-12 Schools

Fact #1: Aging K-12 buildings are often not designed to accommodate newer, more modern HVAC systems.

Fact #2: HVAC system replacements are inherently invasive.

Fact #3: Construction seasons are limited due to a lack of swing space.

Learn how we worked collaboratively with the district’s facilities maintenance team to successfully design and integrate chilled beam systems for their aging buildings.
