Battle Creek Central High School - Battle Creek, MI

A 250,000 sq. ft. high school renovation with a 160,800 sq. ft. expansion.
Involved 14 Venmar CES EnergyPack air handlers with integrated ground source heat pumps — some with enthalpy wheels and some with plate heat exchangers.
Air handler sizes ranged from 3,800 to 42,500 cfm. Largest AHU provided dehumidification in pool area and incorporated an aluminum air-to-air plate heat exchanger with AHRI Certified™ performance.
Heat pumps utilize ground water as the heat sink and provide the school with simultaneous heating and cooling throughout the year.

A 40,000 sq. ft. learning center for student athletes incorporates a unique largely glass exterior with an interior curtain wall of glass.
Neutral ventilation air is supplied to the space by three Venmar CES EnergyPack air handlers ranging in size from 2835 cfm to 5500 cfm with integrated WSHP sizes 4-8.5 tons.
Excess building relief air and bathroom exhaust air are ducted through an AHRI Certified™ plate heat exchanger inside the units.

A world renowned teaching hospital and research center located on two campuses in Portland, Oregon.
Across five buildings, FANWALL^® systems totaling 176 active fans in 14 new units and two retrofit units provide almost 1 million CFM.

Custom packaged systems for Eagle Academy and other New York City public school projects have been designed and constructed to conform to the most stringent acoustical requirements in the USA and represent the absolute cutting edge in HVAC acoustical performance.
Feature ultra low noise condenser fans with discharge silencers, acoustical hoods on all intake and exhaust openings, and interior tunnel acoustical treatments.
Incorporate hot gas reclaim heat recovery, green refrigerant and conditioned, walk-in electrical vestibules.
Units built for acceptance for use by New York City Department of Building.

The builders were looking for a solution for HVAC snow intake.
Governair engineers attacked this unique challenge by designing and developing an innovative, custom snow melt intake system.
By pairing radiant heaters with moisture and temperature sensor controls, designers used strategically placed perforated plates and drain pans to melt the snow and guide the unwanted moisture away from the airstream.
FANWALL TECHNOLOGY is used to drive 70,000 CFM of dry outdoor air from the harsh winter climate.
The WEBCO chiller is 100 tons using 3 evaporative condensers, 3 evaporator barrels, and 9 screw compressors. The entire system is a variable primary pumping system.
