1. Programmed for Success
McKenney’s installed an HVAC sys-tem
with innovative energy man-agement
controls at a national
restaurant chain’s corporate campus in Atlanta.
THE CHALLENGE
The project entailed renovating an existing
warehouse to create multiple experimental
kitchens for developing new menu items.
Every kitchen had it own cooking exhaust
hoods that required replacement make-up
air to keep the building positive. Each kitchen
also had different airflows and make-up
boxes, which were only designed to match
50 percent of the exhaust.
THE SOLUTION
The balance of the make-up air had to be fur-nished
by temperature control air. To accom-plish
this, McKenney’s installed two variable
volume air handling units with terminal boxes
for temperature control and separate terminal
boxes tied to the exhaust hood control. For
times when temperature demand dipped below
50 percent, the team modified the controls to
be continuously variable to adjust and respond
to variable exhaust flows from the hoods.
THE RESULTS
By enlisting its extensive programming
knowledge, McKenney’s successfully deliv-ered
a complex HVAC energy management
system with building positive pressure.
