The contract involves replacing the aging mechanical infrastructure at the RCCC campus, specifically the rooftop HVAC units serving buildings 555 and 570, which have exceeded their useful life. Due to updates in the California Mechanical Code since 2016, direct expansion refrigeration systems can no longer be used as replacements in I-3 occupancies, prompting a shift toward centralized hydronic chilled water plants that provide cooling through custom chilled water air handlers. This upgrade aligns with Sacramento County’s Climate Action Plan requiring an 85% reduction in carbon emissions from 2021 levels by 2045, driving the transition away from natural gas-powered HVAC units to air source heat pump systems for both cooling and heating.
