Highlights:
HVAC replacement”

SETTY services include design for the replacement of HVAC systems in the Courthouse building, which was constructed in 1904 and comprises approximately 57,000 GSF across four above-grade floors, a below-grade basement, an attic, and various offices and courtrooms.

The scope of work includes preparing detailed demolition and selected removal plans, HVAC system modification plans, estimates of probable construction costs including general conditions costs, and estimates for construction administration and management services. Additionally, SETTY prepared schedules of construction activities, staging/phasing plans to ensure minimal impact on building occupants during construction, and draft specifications including general conditions.

The design services encompassed the replacement of all air systems to a VAV DOAS FCU configuration, the complete replacement of the perimeter heating system with a hot water system, and the installation of a steam-to-hot-water heat exchanger on the boilers with hydronic pumping for the building, while retaining the existing boilers, flue system, and boiler controls, monitored by a Niagara system. The strategy also includes radiator modifications to match cover height, minimizing wall finish repairs, and replacing suspended ceilings in areas of substantial work.
