UOVO provides nearly 900,000 square feet of climate-controlled storage and services across 10 locations for collectors, artists, fashion designers, galleries, museums, institutions, and more.

As part of the UOVO 41-54 22nd Street Art Storage Facility Project, SETTY services include partial Mechanical Systems Commissioning services to Art Deluxe for this climate-controlled building in Queens. The purpose of this commissioning was to ensure a smooth progression of the construction project, and the proper completion and testing of the mechanical systems.

The 6 story facility is an art storage space for private individuals and institutions. This type of storage requires a conditioning and control strategy with a high degree of precision and redundancy in order to prevent temperature or humidity swings that could result in damage to the art. SETTY handled commissioning of the controls system, rooftop outdoor air system, and a sample of the heating and cooling equipment. Mechanical equipment includes gas and electric humidity generators, direct expansion cooling, and gas and electric heating.

Scope also includes help to design robust sequences of operations, and to train facilities personnel to conduct functional performance testing on future projects with similar equipment. The commissioning project provides UOVO with turned-over systems that are high performing and reliable.
