The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) on downtown Los Angeles’ Grand Avenue required extensive mechanical upgrades to preserve its collection, maintain visitor comfort, and gain tighter control of humidification levels. The facility had to face an upgrade to its 30-year-old AHUs and humidification system. This had to be accomplished without having to close the building or engage in major demolition.
MOCA solved the dilemma by keeping the outer casings of the existing AHUs, replacing and upgrading all the internal equipment, removing the old evaporative media-type humidification system, and replacing it with a MeeFog humidification system.
