Trimming Cost, Delivering Solutions - Hospital Design/Build
1
M cKenney’s designed the HVAC, plumbing and medical gas sys- tems for a community hospital —part of a larger regional healthcare system. THE CHALLENGE The owner of this small, rural county hospital faced significant cost pressure. To ensure the project would not exceed budget limitations, the owner instructed McKenney’s to design HVAC, plumbing and medical gas systems that performed to minimum building code requirements—rather than the more costly standards of the broader healthcare system. THE SOLUTION By using its design/build expertise, the McKenney’s team was able to reduce the cost of all mechanical systems. For instance, the team selected direct expansion roof top units with variable air volume (VAV) and heat/re-heat hydronic coils for low-cost HVAC efficiency. Piping mains were kept intentionally small and VAV flex was eliminated to minimize seismic restraints labor and material costs. Additional savings were realized by designing the duct system with the static regain method thus minimizing the total quantity of ductwork. THE RESULTS The owner’s savings goals were achieved and the mechanical systems are performing to specification.
