Our MEP Engineers provide complete construction phase services including assistance through the bidding and award phases for construction/equipment contracts, review of change orders and contractor pay requests, and monitoring of the project through their expert construction observation services.

Bel-Air Elementary School Renovation
Jefferson City Public Schools
Jefferson City, Missouri
Our firm worked in conjunction with The Architects Alliance of Jefferson City, Missouri to renovate the Bel-Air Elementary School for Jefferson City Public Schools. This work included the complete replacement of the HVAC system, the upgrade to energy efficient lighting and the addition of two ADA compliant/accessible restroom facilities. New lighting was selected that was both energy-efficient and aesthetically suitable and complementary to the new building finishes. Occupancy sensors were utilized to automatically turn off lighting in areas when unoccupied for additional energy savings. New accessible plumbing was included in this project to allow the building to comply with current day standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

The HVAC system chosen was a Daikin Variable Refrigerant Volumen (VRV) system with dedicated outdoor air units for proper building ventilation. This system replaced the original heating water boiler and air handling units. The VRV system rivals the efficiency of ground source heat pumps without the large first cost for well drilling. The removal of the boiler and large air handling equipment allowed the existing mechanical rooms to be converted into more usable space for storage and one, of the two, new accessible restrooms. The Daikin system comes complete with the required temperature controls system to not only operate the equipment, but also allow for energy management through occupied-unoccupied schedules.
