The Bennett Marine Warehouse Climate Control project took a non-conditioned warehouse and provided indoor space conditioning for occupant comfort.
B&N provided engineering design services for the Bennett Marine Warehouse Climate Control project, which included the installation of a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system in the existing facility's warehouse. The HVAC design solution included a new exterior pad-mounted air turnover unit, two associated exterior pad-mounted air-cooled condensing units and ductwork to ensure the even distribution of conditioned air throughout the warehouse. Equipment was specified with capacities appropriate for the warehouse's cooling loads, and layouts were designed for efficient airflow and service accessibility.
The project team also provided supporting electrical engineering services to ensure that the necessary electrical infrastructure was in place to power the new HVAC system. As part of this project, electrical load calculations were performed to verify that the existing electrical service had sufficient capacity to support the new equipment loads while avoiding nuisance breaker trips. B&N's design team worked closely within existing architectural and structural constraints to ensure that the necessary clearances, adequate support and the integrity of the existing building envelope were maintained.
