M
cKenneys replaced a cooling
tower, boiler and pump at
the Atlanta campus of a
long-standing college-preparatory school.
THE CHALLENGE
The McKenneys team needed to remove
1980s HVAC equipment and install a more
energy-efficient system while the school was
on break. Safety and productivity were a
primary concern as they collaborated with
the installation, project management and
engineering teams to ensure the project
was completed on time and on budget.
THE SOLUTION
To modernize the system at the academys
science building, the McKenneys team
installed a new high-efficiency, low-profile
variable frequency drive (VFD) cooling tower,
boilers, a condenser and tempering loop
pumps with VFD speed control. The teams
worked together seamlessly to complete
the installation and start up quicklywithout
any safety incidents.
THE RESULTS
In addition to being more energy-efficient, the
low-profile cooling tower improved the view
of the building. The academy now has modern
HVAC system that administrators can count on
to heat and cool classroomswhile consum-
ing less power and reducing energy costs.
