Vertical Hvac System Brings Historic Building into the Present
When it comes to restoring historical buildings, history shouldn’t always repeat itself. The challenge lies in maintaining the look and feel of a historic landmark while replacing outdated equipment with systems that were not envisioned decades ago.
The city of Fayetteville, AK, faced this challenge when officials decided it was time to update the air conditioning systems at the city hall, a vintage building from the early 1900s. They quickly learned that hvac systems are among the most complicated modifications to make because of the size of the equipment and the ducting, piping, and additional infrastructure that today’s systems typically require.
