cKenney’s installed air-cooled
chillers, a mechanical plant, all
ductwork, piping and plumbing
for In Touch Ministries’ recording studio, a pro-
ducer of global television and radio broadcasts.
THE CHALLENGE
In addition to addressing the large air
volume specification for this 110-by-110-foot
recording studio and ancillary spaces, the
team also had to ensure all equipment and
ductwork met the studio’s NC (Noise Criterion)
15 rating requirement for noise abatement.
THE SOLUTION
Two 300-ton chillers, supported by two
33,000 CFM air handling units along with
21,000 CFM and 14,000 CFM air handling
units, were necessary to serve the studio
and related rooms. To meet the NC 15 rating,
the McKenney’s team planned, fabricated
and installed oversized ductwork lined with
insulation to minimize and absorb air flow
sound. The significant air volume and low-
noise requirement made for a sizable and
impressive system.
THE RESULTS
The mechanical system is now an integral part
of maintaining a comfortable environment dur-
ing production sessions—keeping the studio
cool and noise-free so it can continue broad-
casting the ministry’s messages to the world.
