McKenney’s replaced four multi-zone air handlers at an art museum on the campus of one of the world’s leading research universities.
The ChallengeThe McKenney’s team had to devise innovative strategies to perform the HVAC work without compromising the integrity of the museum’s artwork, artifacts and day-to-day operations. Maintaining temperature and humidity control in the museum was critical along with addressing worker comfort in a hot, congested attic—the location designatedfor the new air handlers.
The SolutionThe team used small fan coil units to temporarily cool vital areas of the museum and the attic space. To avoid any possible damage tomuseum displays, the four new air handler units were lifted by crane to the roof where workers brought them into the attic. In addition,the team included variable air volume capability and robust filtration to the HVAC system.
