Mechanical: All existing window air conditioning units and floor finned tube radiators are to be removed. The new mechanical system is a variable refrigerant flow (VRF) system that will utilize refrigerant as the method of cooling/heating. Each classroom will have two (2) wall-mounted indoor units to adequately cool or heat the classroom. The recreation hall will have three (3) fan coil units installed for cooling or heating the space. Condensing units will be installed exterior to the building in two separate locations to decrease the distance of piping installation. A VRF monitoring system will be installed in the recreation hall and can be utilized to control the individual units that are installed. The VRF system will also connect to the campus BAS enabling users to log-in online to view system performance and set any parameters needed. Electrical: The existing panelboard will be replaced with a new panelboard to ensure the safety and reliability of electrical systems when the building is utilized. Existing lighting will be upgraded from fluorescent to LED improving not only the aesthetic of the spaces but has increased lower occupant stimulation levels and provides opportunity to lower operational cost. New exterior lighting will replace the existing exterior lighting. Lighting controls will be upgraded to meet current code requirements. The existing fire alarm system is not compliant with current code requirements. There will be a new voice evacuation fire alarm system and devices for the safety of occupants within the building. Architectural: The existing windows and doors will be replaced with new windows and doors which will improve thermal comfort and building energy efficiency. The exterior and interior finishes are remaining to keep the initial aesthetic of the building.
