Introduction
Despite the widespread adoption of remote work, technology companies continue to expand their physical presence in New York City. This substantial project involves a prominent technology company that has embarked on a significant office expansion within a historic 128-year-old landmark building in Midtown Manhattan. Donnelly Mechanical was awarded a $16.6 million contract to handle the HVAC needs of this extensive fit-out.
Scope Review
The project involves a comprehensive multi-floor fit-out designed to meet the demanding needs of a leading technology company. The scope includes the installation of fan-powered boxes equipped with hot water coils, ensuring efficient and reliable temperature control throughout the office space. Additionally, a sophisticated kitchen exhaust system featuring precipitators on make-up air units has been installed to manage ventilation and air quality in the building’s culinary areas.
One of the most significant components of the project is the installation of over 1,000 fan-powered boxes and Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems. These installations are crucial for maintaining optimal airflow and temperature regulation across multiple floors, providing a comfortable and productive environment for the company’s employees. The use of advanced HVAC technology ensures that the building’s climate control systems are both energy-efficient and highly effective, tailored to the specific requirements of a modern tech office.
