There are two 9,000 CFM make-up air handling units that can either heat or cool the incoming outdoor air temperature before being entering the building. These units have fan walls that can operate efficiently over a wide range of capacity to save energy. Air conditioning is achieved thru variable air volume boxes connected to a central chilled water air handing unit that connects to central plant system with heat recovery chillers. The domestic water heating systems can extract excess heat from the central plant system to offset the amount of energy required to heat the hot water system.
