RMF Engineering has a long-standing relationship with The State University of New York (SUNY) system of public colleges and universities. This relationship provides an ongoing body of work that includes the engineering firm's completion of four major air handling units (AHU) and infrastructure replacement projects over the past decade with one additional currently in progress. All five projects were based on HVAC systems that were over 40 years old, some of which were constructed as far back as the late 1960s, that had far surpassed their expected service lives.
RMF’s team of engineers studied the original drawings of each of the impacted buildings, as well as those of the systems themselves, to determine the best path forward. Given the nuances of each system and the limitations posed by the existing structures that housed them, customization was critical to RMF's approach. The resulting strategies were uniquely tailored to their existing mechanical spaces through the use of custom knock-down units and fan array technologies that provided system longevity and ease of maintenance.
