Project Description
The original Roger Adams Laboratory (RAL) building was constructed in 1948 with a south addition in 1964. The original equipment still serves most of the building systems, is well beyond its life expectancy, and needs replaced. Window air conditioning units and small inefficient A/C units have been added over time to the original building where there was no air conditioning. Most of the original AHUS were heating only systems with return air, even for labs. Other items needing addressed are indoor air quality, lack of adequate make-up air, exhaust air re-entrainment, lack of energy recovery systems, system distribution and control deficiencies. The fume hood exhaust systems generally consist of individual fans on each exhaust duct riser.
This project will first complete a comprehensive plan for phased equipment replacement. This will include evaluating and prioritizing equipment replacement, determining the most efficient solutions to the assorted deficiencies, and an execution plan this is coordinated with the existing building operational requirements. The scope of work will include replacement of existing air handling units and necessary support systems. It is anticipated that there will need to be fume hood exhaust system replacement concurrent with air handling unit replacement to implement an energy recovery system.
