FIRST NATIONAL REALTY (TRANE)

This design-build project with Trane was for a six story building totaling approximately 120,000 square feet. Two stories of the building have been converted into a data center with their own dedicated HVAC systems. The remainder of the building is served by two built up air handling units (AHU) located in a mechanical penthouse. The air handlers originally served the entire building before the data center was built. Since the data center was built, the air handlers are now oversized for the spaces they serve and the cooling infrastructure is in need of replacement due to its age. The owner requested the system be retrofitted with chilled water cooling coils and two air-cooled chillers.
