National
Institutes of Health Building No. 2 - Bethesda, Maryland
Project Details
As the prime designer, WFT Engineering provided detailed systems
analysis to determine the most life cycle cost effective mechanical,
plumbing, electrical, and life safety systems for this 52,000
sf historic building. The HVAC system included the installation
of a variable flow tertiary chilled water system, steam to
hot water converters, and variable flow pumping systems. The
airside systems included a custom built central station, M&I
variable flow air handling unit and VAV terminals with terminal
reheat. The air handling unit was carefully designed to fit
in an existing building and meet all outside air codes and
standards. The project also included the installation of telephone
and LAN wireways, spot network transformers, and double ended
air-draw-out switchgear.
