  • The owner’s building program (and any additional) goals
  • System and constructability constraints
  • The final system selection is based on methods to furnish and install heat systems to serve a new 150,000-seat arena in an existing office park
  • Specialized systems: A new diesel generator will provide emergency electrical power to serve the arena and its smoke evacuation systems
  • Central air systems, exhaust systems, and direct expansion cooling with each central air system
  • Automatic controls shall include a new direct digital building automation system (BAS) computer, boiler-furnished automatic controls, a BACnet interface, a security system, the internet, and new computerized maintenance management software (CMMS) system interface
    
• Program and Project Goals:
  • Functional goals: (Refer to Chapter 1, 2020 Handbook)
  • Budget goals: first cost and operating cost
  • Timeline goal(s): Pre-purchased equipment dates to ensure the boilers and new forced hot water system will be in operation by the upcoming heating season
  • Management goals: Three-year extended warranty service contract for the boiler and direct expansion cooling equipment and an outsourced O&M service contractor
• Available utilities: Natural gas and 480/3/60 existing electrical power in the office park
• New ventilation and IAQ system: This will include central air system(s) supply air and/or return air cfm, general exhaust, smoke exhaust, and toilet exhaust
• New heating system: Hot water distribution to finned-tube radiation, unit heaters, and central air-handling unit heating coils
• New BAS: HVAC, security, and IAQ monitoring interface with the CMMS system
• Test, adjust, and balance (TAB) air and water systems
