McKenney’s renovated HVAC systems in a 30-story Charlotte office tower for a law school tenant.

1. McKenney’s renovated
HVAC ­systems
in a 30-story
Charlotte office tower for
a law school tenant.
THE CHALLENGE
The 10 floors of the heavily populated law
school required more outside air than typical
office space. The challenge, how to deliver the
air thru an occupied high rise building while
maintaining the budget and meeting the
aggressive five-month project schedule.
THE SOLUTION
McKenney’s worked with the design team
and decided that installing a 92-ton outside
air unit on top of the building would be more
cost effective than installing individual custom
units above the ceilings on each floor. This
approach saved the project approximately
$200,000. Diligent field coordination between
­McKenney’s,
the general contractor, police,
local transit service, parking lot owners
and insurance companies was necessary
to ensure a safe and efficient helicopter lift
process. An existing open shaft was used
to install a duct riser from the roof down to
the school’s ten floors.
THE RESULTS
McKenney’s delivered the project on time
and within budget without any disruption
to other tenants.
