VALUE DELIVERED

HVAC INSTALLATION OBJECTIVES

Commercial HVAC installation services to improve employee comfort in a warehouse prone to very high summer temperatures.

MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION SERVICE SOLUTIONS

Recognizing the high cost of installing warehouse air conditioning systems, this client turned to EMCOR Services New York/New Jersey for alternatives. In response, the company proposed an innovative, cost-saving option. Taking advantage of a concept known as "breeze cooling," EMCOR Services NY/NJ installed large, airfoil fans above the warehouse's high-traffic areas. With blades 18 feet in diameter, the fans deliver a strong downdraft of 1.1-million cubic feet of airflow per minute, reducing the perceived temperature as much as 10 degrees. And by completing the mechanical construction service project on a very tight schedule, the company enabled the client to avoid another summer of discomfort for its employees.

This commercial breeze cooling service approach also provided some cool savings. Whereas air-conditioning would have cost an estimated $500,000 to install and approximately $35,000 a year to operate, EMCOR's heating and cooling solution priced out at just $110,000 to install with estimated annual operating costs of $5,000.

Finally, as a value-added mechanical service, EMCOR Services New York/New Jersey performed follow-up seasonal mechanical commissioning to adjust the HVAC system and ensure that both the client and its employees obtain full value from the EMCOR solution.
