Z -- Energy Management System Replacement

Scope of work consists of a pneumatic environmental control system responsible for maintaining heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) for the facility that has reached the end of its useful life. Although still functioning, the equipment has required increasing maintenance expenditures reducing its reliability. A new fully digital energy management system will increase reliability and tenant comfort. The new system must be installed to allow for full integration with the existing HVAC cystem.
