Consolidated
Engineers designed the HVAC, plumbing, lighting and communications
systems for the school. The HVAC system is a water-source heat pump
system with heat recovery units. The energy efficient system provides an
improved indoor environment by pre-treating outdoor ventilation air and
controlling indoor humidity. It allows one area to be heated while
another is simultaneously cooled. |
|
The data network
links all PC’s in the school together and allows them to share resources
such as printers and file servers. In addition to the building LAN, the
entire campus is linked together through a fiber optic network. The
building also has telephones and television sets with VCR’s in the
classrooms which are interconnected throughout the building and campus
via underground cables. The telephone system combines outside phones
with intercom requirements which allows special features like voice
mailboxes and homework hotlines. |
