Renovation of a mixed-use development in Windsor, Connecticut. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

Oliver Ellsworth Elementary School at times experiences high levels of interior humidity and moisture. Board of Education staff and on-call maintenance technicians have been working to try and alleviate the issue. Although adjustments to the system have made improvements, the humidity and moisture continue to persist in the building this summer. Staff from the Board of Education has had a preliminary assessment of the facility's HVAC system completed by a mechanical engineer. To address the issue of elevated humidity levels in the building the consulting engineer is recommending that the method of introducing outside air into the building be modified by installing a system of dedicated outside air units that are equipped with air cooled electric heat pumps for both heating and cooling. Additional work to modify the existing chilled water system is suggested as is a full evaluation/commissioning of the existing HVAC control system.
