The project consists of the enhancement of the existing HVAC system for the dog kennels at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care and Control Facility. The existing kennels have approximately 5,900 sq. ft. of interior space with exterior spaces for the dogs. New four-pipe air handling units will condition the spaces to maintain a setpoint temperature range of 65F to 85F. One (1) new air cooled chiller (and chilled water appurtenances) will be located outside and will connect to the cooling coils of the air handling units. Two (2) new boilers (and appurtenances) will be located in the existing interior boiler room. These new boilers will connect to the heating coils in the new AHUs. New standalone dehumidification units will be installed to control the humidity inside the kennels to a maximum of 50% relative humidity. The existing rooftop exhaust fans will be replaced in kind and new rooftop air intakes will be installed to connect to the new AHUs. A new 480V/3 electrical service entrance will be installed to power all of the new equipment as part of this project. A new DDC control system will be installed to control all new equipment, as well as maintain the building at a positive pressure with respect to the outside.
