McKenney’s upgraded and enhanced cooling tower operation to improve system performance and lower energy costs at a nine-floor hotel in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The ChallengeThe cooling tower had to be replaced with minimal disruption to the hotel and guests. The project required expert planning, precisecoordination of the sub teams and continual communication with the hotel’s management to remain on schedule.
The SolutionTo ensure a timely completion, the McKenney’s team created a logistics plan and execution strategy that ensured all materials and labor were on site as needed. They also worked with the hotel’s corporate controls team to pre-cool common areas prior to shut down, and then flushed large volumes of outdoor air in as needed to help keep temperatures atacceptable levels. In addition, a tower isolation redesign has eliminated future cooling disruptions by allowing one area to remain operationalwhile other areas are being serviced.
