Mechanical systems were chosen based on an extensive life cycle cost analysis that determined the most life cycle cost effective mechanical system. Mechanical systems include high efficiency rooftop packaged single zone units with modulating powered exhaust. All rooftop equipment is equipped with economizers to take advantage of the temperate climate. Heating only systems were provided per district standards where required. Building exhaust systems were added as required to serve restrooms as well as to maintain building pressurization. Careful consideration was given to the controls of each system working closely with the district to provide alarm and monitoring as requested.
