Office Building's VAV System Gets New Lease on Life Via a Quiet, Modular Retrofit Solution
The elegant One Tower Bridge is a landmark, 15-story office building located in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. To keep its competitive edge, it was clear the owners had to replace the nearly 30-year-old HVAC units supplying the facility.
“We faced replacing 15 45-ton packaged HVAC units originally bought from Blazer Industries in 1988,” said John Sargent, building engineer for One Tower Bridge. “Transporting new, complete units to each floor was impossible. While the freight elevators are large, they certainly cannot transport a complete air-handling system. Removing windows or walls was also impossible. So, we were searching for a modular replacement unit that could fit our space restrictions and meet our particular performance requirements.”
