This month’s Facility File is based on a 1,000-kW cogeneration unit with hot water energy recovery to an existing health care campus process heating system and the domestic hot water heating system that serves this health care campus.
At the recommendation of the design team leader, the HVAC consulting engineer — the building’s owner — has chosen the project delivery method to be IPD (integrated project delivery). The method of project deliver is based on ASHRAE 2015 — HVAC Applications Handbook, Chapter 58 (Integrated Building Design). An IPD team meeting was coordinated for the owner, facility manager, owner’s representative, design team, IPD project manager, infection control (IC) third-party consultant, general contractor, and subcontractors along with a third-party commissioning and air and water balancing (CxTAB) consultant, and cogeneration unit manufacturer.
