Space conversion / change of use

This project consisted of the conversion of commercial spaces into rental units. The building previously had a basilaire and our client converted these spaces into 53 units. We performed the central mechanical and central system upgrades to support the change. The chiller was replaced with a dry cooler to do aerothermal. The ventilation and domestic hot water systems were upgraded. In winter and mid-season, outdoor conditions permitting, the aerothermal system provides preheating for domestic hot water and heating for the ventilation and garage. In the summer, we are able to produce domestic hot water because of the need for air conditioning. The boilers are now used as redundancy for the chiller and to support the heating needs during cold periods.
