Project Details:
West View Elementary
Pittsburgh, PA
- Mechanical and Electrical Design
- The project scope primarily included the addition of new classroom air conditioning systems based upon the “City-Multi” system, which utilizes ceiling mounted space conditioning systems and fresh air make up units supported by condensing units.
- Existing 2-pipe unit ventilators remain and are used during heating or economizer operation.
- A new technology program was implemented as part of the project. The program includes new network switches, wireless network infrastructure, and interactive white board systems in the classrooms.
- Each interactive white board system includes the whiteboard, overhead multimedia projector, speakers, and a control system for the teacher to use a desktop computer, document camera, and other input devices.
- A new control system was installed and extended to all new and existing HVAC systems, whether modified or not during the proposed renovation, so that each entire facility is controlled from a new single central control system.
- New control systems are expected to feature energy efficiency optimization parameters, including use of motion sensors and integration with lighting and ventilation systems.
